Hi,
Your starting point is Lourmarin? And where do you go? Do you come back to Lourmarin the same day? Route Napoléon is quite far from Lourmarin, but there's a lot of scenic driving closer by.

I see. In that case, I would simply head straight to the A51 south of Pertuis, take the A51 to the end towards Gap (it's both fast and quite pretty) and continue on the N85 Route Napoléon towards Grenoble, from where it's best to continue on the highway (A43- A41-A410). The Gap-Grenoble section of route Napoléon is quite scenic, and total driving time shouldn't exceed six hours with this route.
