Treat yourself to a double visit by taking the time to admire the exceptional panoramic view with commentary from the top of the Bastille, before strolling at your own pace to discover the history of the old town.
A stroll through the old town offers a grand journey into Grenoble's fabulous 2,000-year-old history. A city where the knight Bayard, the Duke of Lesdiguières, Aristide Bergès, and Marie Reynoard lived, among others. Historical monuments and ancient residences bear witness to this, such as the former Parliament Building, the cathedral, and Stendhal's house.
Then, head off with your guide to the Bastille... via the famous "bubbles" of one of the world's first urban cable cars (after Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town), built in 1934. The flight is gentle, and in just a few minutes, you'll reach the fortified site, in the foothills of the Chartreuse Mountains. The view of the capital of the French Alps and its mountainous surroundings is breathtaking, from the Chartreuse and Vercors massifs, through the Belledonne range, to Mont Blanc!
+ cable car 6,60€ per person (adults) School groups : please contact the Grenoble-Bastille cable car directly to book tickets.
For many years a guide throughout Europe and sometimes further afield, I have been guiding in my home town, in French, English and German, since 2002. Above all, I love telling stories, arousing emotions, making people dream and traveling.
I'm a Grenoble native, and I've been a tour guide and visitor advisor for Grenoble Alpes Tourisme for 4 years now. I love Grenoble, because I was born there! But also because it's unique, with 3 mountain ranges surrounding it. There's something for everyone: year-round mountain sports, culture (lots of free museums!) and such a rich history!
Originally from Brazil, I arrived in Grenoble in 2006. I fell in love with the city and have never wanted to leave. I love art and history, and my passion is sharing cultural moments with people from all walks of life.
I was born in the Isère region (Saint-Marcellin) and have always been passionate about architectural heritage. As a child, I was the one who organized my parents' visits and vacations. They let me do it because they were sure not to miss anything essential!
Originally from Grenoble, I'm an objective chauvinist: I love my city and I'm keen to convince others that it's (almost) perfect!
