Route 7 (Japanese: ７番道路 Route 7) is a route in western Kalos, connecting Route 6, Camphrier Town, and Connecting Cave. The route is also known as Rivière Walk (Japanese: リビエールライン Rivière Line).

Route description

Route 7 is an extremely long east–west route that connects Camphrier Town in the east to Connecting Cave in the west. On the far east end, near Camphrier Town, is a northwestern spur that leads to Route 6. Also located on the eastern end are the Berry fields, as well as the Pokémon Day Care. Near the center of the route is a large castle called the Battle Chateau. The west end of the route contains a photo spot as well two entrances to Connecting Cave. Due to the route's scenic view as it runs along a river, it is popular among Artists.

When the player first enters the area, a Snorlax will be on the bridge blocking the way. The player must awaken it with a borrowed Poké Flute from Parfum Palace and then defeat it in battle or catch it to proceed. If knocked out instead of caught, the Snorlax will return after the next time the player enters the Hall of Fame.

A Photo Spot can be found outside the entrance to Connecting Cave, where the player can get their picture taken by Phil the Photo Guy in front of the Battle Chateau.
