Placette Pass

Small nice pass not too bad in the direction towards Voreppe. It allows the switch to the valley and an easy return to Grenoble. Please note that there may be road traffic.

A beautiful cycle path that follows the Isère River. There are a few places to stop for a picnic, and there's even a water fountain. This is a good place …

May 8, 2025,Montaud et retour par Coublevie gorges du Bret et Placette

I had left my water bottle at home, so a round trip and an extra 9km were required.
I took the route (this time in the opposite direction) I had discovered this week during a previous outing, which connects the Tullins St Quentin/Isère area to the Coublevie St Julien de Raz area via relatively quiet roads for the region.
