Altaya has just released a new collection called "la Route Bleue, les plus belles étapes de la RN7".

RN7 stands for Route Nationale 7. This highway starts in Paris and ends in the French Riviera at the Italian border in the city of Menton (my birthplace). RN7 is as popular for French people as Route 66 for Americans. RN7 is synonymous of sunny vacations in Southern France.

Models are made by IXO, but most of them were previously released in other collections.

Each car comes with a diorama, price for no. 1 is only 3.99 euros ($5.90).

When you subscribe you get no. 2 for 8.99 euros ($13.30) and no. 3 free of charge, plus free of charge :
with no. 1 : one DVD "la Nationale 7 40 ans après" (the RN7, 40 years later)
with no. 2 : one 1:43rd gas station
with no. 4 : one 1:43rd bus

No. 4 and the next ones will be 16.99 euros ($25.00).
