Grenoble Attractions

Whether you want to unleash your inner Indiana Jones, cultivate your cultural side, or delight in the delicious dishes of the French Alps, Grenoble is a great destination idea. In Grenoble, it is not uncommon to see people still in their climbing gear, wearing hiking boots, or decked out in a full ski suit in the tram (come winter, that is). Since three mountain chains surround the city, you are just minutes away from hikes, ski resorts, rock climbs, and more. The Bastille lets hikers begin their trek from the city center and Chamrousse is just half an hour's drive away. With the internationally-recognized Musée de Grenoble art museum and the MC2: Maison de la Culture, Grenoble offers culture vultures all they could ever want to prey on. Smaller arts centers like La Bobine concert hall and an annual line-up of quality festivals like the Cabaret Frappé make Grenoble an attractive city when it comes to all forms of culture and arts. After a day of exploring, let the aromas of Grenoble play to your palette. Traditional restaurants like La Table Ronde and l'Auberge Napoléon serve some of the city's best local fare. For something with an international flair, try any one of Grenoble's many Asian, African, or Middle Eastern restaurants. There is something for every taste and every budget.
