Hello
It was very busy with cyclists, so great care was needed (a Friday during the holidays). At this time of year, in February, only attempt this route if it has been dry for several days; otherwise, sections will be very muddy, or even closed. Odours from the sewage treatment plant were noticeable. Ducks and seagulls. We started from the bottom to reduce the elevation gain for those not used to climbing.
Thank you

A very easy and pleasant walk, as you follow the Roize river and then, on the way back, the Isère before heading back up along the banks of the Roize.
The only drawback is that part of the route follows cycle paths, so you need to be very careful of cyclists who don’t always make themselves visible (we did this walk on a Sunday; there might be fewer cyclists during the week).

Stunning scenery. In summer, it’s a cool, shady spot.
It might be best to leave your car at the entrance to Voreppe to avoid the tarmac road. It’s easy to bring children along on the route. Very easy and very beautiful

The first section, which involves crossing the main road and passing under the motorway, isn’t particularly pleasant, but after that it’s quiet and green, and the little path back along the banks of the Isère is charming, with the added bonus of no longer being on the cycle path.
Another great thing about this route is that it’s almost flat all the way!

A walk along the motorway – admittedly alongside the River Isère, but with the A-road on the other side. A noisy walk! At the start, you have to cross a roundabout and go under the motorway, which isn’t very pleasant. I won’t be doing it again! Nor would I recommend it!

On the way there, the route runs alongside the River Isère and various ponds. Please note: when you reach the cycle path, turn left; then, after the Roize valley, you will need to walk between the River Isère and the cycle path. You will be walking through tall grass. The path is not maintained.
