Grenoble

Nestled in the French Alps, Grenoble benefits from an awe-inspiring, mountainous backdrop. Catch the Téléferique up to the commanding Bastille for fabulous views of the city or wander around the ultra modern Museum of Grenoble, showcasing art and artifacts from antiquity to the present day. Head to nearby Vizille for a tour of the Musée de la Revolution, housed in a beautiful chateâu with stunning formal gardens.
