? Getting to Lyon
 
Hi all,

I will be going NB on the A48 from Grenoble to Lyon.

viamichelin, Mappy and Maps.google all tell me to follow the signs saying
"La Tour-du-Pin/Chambéry/Genève"
to enter the A43 for Lyon.

That is the EB direction.

I want to go NB,

The map directions all shouw the route going under the A43 and turning left (NB).

Anyone done this?

Suggestions?

Have you tried viamichelin.com?

Well, of course you have--my eyes are deceiving me.

If I am reading my map correctly, you do want to go toward La-Tour-du-Pin but on the A48. A bit west of La Tour du Pin you will pick up the A43 for Lyon.

Thanks, Robes.

It was the signs that bothered me.
