Four Must-Visit Attractions in Grenoble, France


Michael Ikossi holds a bachelor of arts in languages and culture from Loyola University in New Orleans. During his time at Loyola University, Michael Ikossi studied a semester abroad in Grenoble, France, a cultural treasure of the country. Here are four attractions that should not be missed when visiting this area. 

1. Fort de la Bastille. Offering the best panoramic alpine view in Grenoble, this fort sits on a hilltop and was once a prison. Today, it houses multiple museums, an outdoor patio, and scenic walking trails. 

2. Musée de Grenoble. With 18,000 square meters of fine art to view, this museum is one of the most respected in all of France. The art within ranges from the 15th to the 20th centuries, and the park surrounding the building is filled with a variety of sculptures. 

3. Vercors Massif. For those interested in hiking, this mountain range to the west of the city offers easy trails with picturesque views, with surrounding meadows featuring dairy farms busy with cheese making. 

4. The Vieille Ville. The city’s old town, this area of the city is filled with narrow cobblestone streets, squares filled with shopping, and historic houses. Visitors often enjoy the busy farmers' markets held on Tuesday and Sunday mornings.
