Lyon-Saint
Exupéry Airport
When
travelling from Lyon-Saint
Exupéry airport to Grenoble, tickets
can be bought from the Airport shuttle bus Lyon-Saint Exupéry–Grenoble
counter [Satobus] inside the airport. A single
ticket costs 20,00 Euro, a return ticket 30,00 Euro.
The bus leaves from the bus stand situated between
Terminals 1 and 2, Level 1.
On its approach to Grenoble, the bus leaves the
motorway and turns up Avenue des Martyrs. If
asked, the bus driver will stop at the roundabout
just after the bridge Pont d'Oxford, which leads
on to Avenue des Martyrs. This stop is within
easy walking distance of the EMBL site.
In Grenoble, the Satobus leaves for the airport from the central
bus station 'Gare Routière', which is next
to Grenoble train station. However, its route
takes it along Avenue des Martyrs, where it has
an official stop at the city bus stop 'CENG',
opposite the CENG main entrance [a 'Satobus' sign
also indicates the stop]. If you wish to catch the shuttle bus from this stop to avoid going to the central bus station, you must make a sign to the driver, otherwise he will not stop! In this case, tickets can be bought directly from the driver.
