First-class museums, full of history castle, and unique places that reflect the city’s desire to always surprise and innovate; Grenoble has been successfully reinventing itself for more than two centuries, often leading the way for cultural, social, and industrial trends. It seems almost impossible to sum up Grenoble in a few essentials. At least the mountains are an ever-present constant, waiting at the trend of every corner. You will first learn to name them before curiously exploring them, and standing breathless in front of their beauty.
