Discover Charantonnay

Charantonnay brings together a distinctive landscape and cultural points of interest, along with recurring events. To start planning your trip, you can decide whether to focus on nature and exercise, architecture, the Médiathèque or a sporting event. The details of the town offer different starting points, from damp farmland and woodland to specific cultural and event information.

Landscape and trails

The landscape often includes damp farmland as well as numerous ponds, marshes, springs and fountains. This combination makes water a recurring feature of the landscape. Extensive woodland adds to the natural appeal and offers many kilometres of trails for hiking, horse riding and cycling. If you are planning outdoor activities, you can consider these three forms of exercise separately, according to your interests. Whether on foot, by bike or on horseback, each offers a different way to get around; which one suits your plans depends on your personal preferences.

The church and cultural highlights

The Church of Saint Roch stands above the entire village of Charantonnay. Its 15th-century portal houses a statuette. This combines its prominent position in the village with a specific architectural detail. For travellers interested in architectural history as well as nature, Saint Roch is a clearly defined cultural point of interest.

Another cultural point of interest is the Médiathèque de Charantonnay. Since 2009, it has been part of the library network of the Communauté de Communes des Collines du Nord Dauphiné. Its address is 181 avenue du Bourg, 38790 Charantonnay. Its membership in the network and its exact address provide different points of reference: the former places the facility within the intercommunal library network, while the latter pinpoints its location in Charantonnay.

Events and routes

The Marche des Collines changes venue each year and takes place throughout the Collines area. The 2024 edition was scheduled for Charantonnay on 15 September, with three routes planned over 2.5, 6.5 and 9.5 kilometres. The difference in length between the shortest and longest planned routes is seven kilometres. These details refer to the plans for 2024. The Grand Prix Cycliste de Charantonnay is a recurring cycling event; details may vary from one edition to another.

Transport and finding a hotel

A municipal notice dated 2 September 2024 lists a demand-responsive bus service from Charantonnay, taking passengers for €2 to the Saint-Quentin and La Verpillière railway stations, the Villefontaine bus station, and other villages in the intercommunal community of COLL’in Communauté. This identifies railway stations, a bus station and other destinations as places served by the service. If you are considering using it for your trip, check the booking rules and current service details before travelling.

This prioritisation helps you organise your own criteria; you can then assess a specific hotel offer based on your personal requirements.
