Grenoble: Attractions and more...
The Bastille, a section of the old fortified wall, is spread over the surrounding mountain; getting there is quite a hike. However, it can also be reached by Les Bulles, the cable-car, which offers a spectacular view of the city.
Musee de Grenoble, an art museum, houses the paintings of renowned masters like Picasso and Matisse. Sculptures and other artefacts from the Greek, Roman and Egyptian times are also displayed here.
Musee Dauphinois showcases the lifestyle of the people when the city was under the reign of the counts of Vienna. The well-planned gardens and the museum’s ornate chapel make it a worthwhile visit.
For nature lovers, there are many routes for climbing and hiking in the nearby area. Robert Lake and Achard Lake are popular spots in summers. In winters, Grenoble turns into a sports centre, especially for skiing enthusiasts.
