Directions to Enjoy Oisans from Grenoble by Car
From Lyon you will stay on the A480/E712 around Grenoble until junction
8, the turning for the N85.
Please note that Junctions 5,6,7 and 8 are practically on top of
each other -be careful not to miss junction 8.
When you come off at junction 8 just keep following the road, you
will come to a roundabout which you go straight over following the signs
to VIZILLE N85.
Keep going on the same road until you nearly reach Vizille where
there is a petrol station on the left and a sign showing BOURG D'OISANS
N91 on the right. Turn right at the roundabout (it's a tight bend) on
to the N91 and basically stay on this road, don't turn off until you
reach Bourg d'Oisans. You will go through various villages on your way.
You will know when your reach the village because a sign tells you!
As you come into the centre slow down. The main road bears round to
the left but you need to go straight ahead passing the shops and bars
for a few hundred yards. Turn right along Rue Capitaine Meunier, which
runs alongside the park. On the right there is a large free car park.
Park here and walk up to the top of the road, then to the right in to
Rue Docteur Daddy. Carry straight on along the road past the Ches la Fille restaurant. The narrow turning in to Rue Chateau
Perrier is on the left hand side and the house faces you as you turn
in to the road.
Saturday is market day in Bourg d'Oisans and if you're arriving in
the village in the morning you'll be forced to bear left in to the town
rather than going straight ahead past the bars and the shops.
