Gill5, welcome to snowheads. I don't think it will be too manic - busy, yes. I never go near Lyon if I can help it, but it might be difficult to avoid going to L2A - someone who does the journey regularly will be able to help.
But in general, make sure your chains are not packed at the bottom of a load of heavy stuff (just been lashing them onto the top of my gigantic heap) and have some food and drink in the car (you'll have warm clothes, obviously...). Good music, maybe some podcasts. Remember it's forbidden to overtake a snowplough and relax! The forecast is very uncertain but there could be some snow around. If you're not used to driving in snow, keep the revs down (higher gear), drive as though driving on egg shells and fit chains as soon as you feel a loss of traction.

Hi Pam thanks for that we have put winter tyres on and have some snow chains at the ready for the trip and plenty of good music!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Gill5, Take the A39 at Dijon rather than continuing on the A6. it's usually much quieter and you get around Lyon easier. It will probably be slow from Grenoble depending on the time you hit it. I normally drive from close to Calais to L2A all in one hit and get there by about 6 (although at a quieter time).

Try not to hit Grenoble in the rush hour, but the traffic will be pretty heavy anyway. Sorry but I cannot think of anything more to say
