Route description

The Belgian part of the E25 is also denoted as 'Route du Soleil'. The title is rejected by France because there is ready a 'Route du Soleil' connecting Paris and Marseille. The Belgian 'Route du Soleil' is a branch of the original route, connecting Amsterdam and Marseille and joining the E25 near Utrecht (NL) towards Metz (F).

The N205 carrying the E25 to the Mont Blanc Tunnel is named the "Route Blanche".
