Car Hire Bourgoin Jallieu - Mini guide to Bourgoin Jallieu
Bourgoin Jallieu
Access to Bourgoin Jallieu is simple, whether you’re coming from Grenoble or Lyon. Central Lyon is only 25 miles (40kms) away, with Gernoble a short 40 mile (65km) trip. The best way to reach Bourgoin Jallieu is by hire car, which can be rented online.
The city profits from its position as the ‘door to the Alps’, and manages to keep visitors in the city for a few days to check out all the local attractions either on their way or coming back from the Alps. The Théatre Jean Villar stages dance, concert and acting productions that are worthy enough to merit their own style, known in French as ‘la Scene Rhone-Alpes’.
There is a local museum, the Museum of Bourgoin Jallieu, which holds a good collection of art from ancient to modern times, with notable entries from post-impressionist Victor Chearraton.
There is a famous fountain in the city, with its inscription: ‘this fountain was built for public use’. While locals used to drink water from it in medieval times and allow their horses to drink from it too, today you’re unlikely to see anyone doing anything but taking photos of it.
The city is home to over 300,000 inhabitants, and with the trickling of tourists over the mountains, Bourgoin Jallieu has a good range of hotel and guesthouse accommodation. The best way to see Bourgoin Jallieu is by rental car, which you can conveniently book through us online.
