In the heart of the city
Is that just a cliché considering the “Grenoblois” with sport shoes and fleece jackets? Of course it is, because this is more than a bustling sport city. Let yourself merge into the pedestrian streets tangling into the historical boroughs. The heart of the city is just waiting for visitors to conquer; recounting years of history from the building process of « Notre Dame Cathedral
» to the Building of Progress built in 19th.
Eyes in the air, feet on the cobblestones, let the city center unveil itself to you.

The inner of the city will refresh visitors as they stroll in the shadows of the old plane trees from centuries in the « Jardin de Ville » Park, a few minutes from Stendhal’s birthplace. With its pastel façades, the « Jardin de Ville » has its own air of the Italian dolce vita.
