Grenoble Essentials

Grenoble, the Capital of the Alps, sits at the confluence of the Isère and Drac rivers. This selection features the 19th-century Bastille fortress, accessible via the distinctive spherical cable car cabins. Cultural highlights include the Musée de Grenoble’s extensive art collection and the Archaeological Museum's 6th-century crypt. Historical landmarks like the 15th-century Palace of the Parliament of Dauphiné and the 1924 Perret Tower—the first reinforced concrete tower in Europe—showcase the city's architectural evolution from its Gallo-Roman origins to modern innovation.
