If you are planning to see the sights while you are in Grenoble, don’t miss the Bastille fortress which looms above the town. You can reach it via an unusual mode of transport – just hop into one of “Les Bulles” (Bubbles), spherical cable cars that take visitors up and down La Bastille hill. Grenoble is blessed with many fine museums, and at very least, make sure you check out the main Musée de Grenoble with its world-class art collections and stop off at the impressive, gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame which was founded in the 13th century.
Enjoy the old town with its chic restaurants and upscale stores and in winter head to Place Victor Hugo to savour the delights of the Grenoble Christmas Market.
Wander around the St Laurent area below Bastille Hill, with its brightly painted houses. It’s known as the city’s Italian quarter and while you are here, you may be tempted by the aroma wafting from one of the district’s many authentic pizza restaurants.

Another day, take a road trip into the Parc Naturel Régional du Vercors, a huge expanse of Alpine paradise, renowned for its verdant scenic beauty.
