Hotels in Le Pont-de-Beauvoisin

Le Pont-de-Beauvoisin is actually two towns in one: the river Guiers splits it down the middle, with a Savoie half and an Isère half, a legacy of the border between France and the old Duchy of Savoy. That split history is the main reason to stop here — the old bridge and riverside houses still mark what was once an international frontier, and the streets keep a genuine, unpolished small-town character rather than anything dressed up for visitors.

Be honest: there's little in the way of sights or nightlife, and at under 3,000 people this is a stopover town, not a destination — most travellers pass through en route between Lyon, Chambéry or Grenoble rather than staying for its own sake. Stay near the old bridge itself, where the two halves of town meet, for the closest thing to a proper centre.
