Circulate
Échirolles is located in the southern suburbs of Grenoble. It is crossed by the southern ring road of the city, and served by three exits, Échirolles-ouest, Échirolles-center and Échirolles-est.
Like the inner suburbs of Grenoble, this city is not immune to the difficulties of road traffic during rush hour. However, it is well laid out with long avenues that join Grenoble like the course of the Liberation.
Public transport is relatively developed and makes it easy to get around on and between Échirolles and Grenoble. There is a train stop (Échirolles station) and several bus lines, as well as the tram (line A) cross the town. On the other hand, it is quite long to pass on the west bank of the Drac, on the Seyssins, Seyssinet, Fontaine side by public transport, the rest of the neighboring municipalities are easily accessible by public transport from the Semitag network, with the strong development of a Multi modal pole. An SNCF station (TER), a relay car park connected to the tram, cycle paths, offer the possibility of traveling in the Grenoble area. It is possible to take the train to Échirolles with a Semitag ticket by placing your bike on the train, parking your car at the relay car park, a TAG ticket being issued (valid for the number of passengers in the car), thus making it possible to travel on the entire public transport network.
The network of cycle paths is gradually developing. Unlike buses, a cycle and pedestrian bridge allows you to cross the ring road and the Drac between Seyssins and Échirolles.
