Book a budget hotel in Grenoble

The Bastille in Grenoble: a must-see in the Grenoble region. Grenoble also has its "bubbles". This is not a drink, but an unusual cable car less than half an hour's drive (via the D1075) from your Première Classe Grenoble Université hotel. These small pods, which link the left bank of the Isère river to the Bastille, are a tourist attraction since their modern and spherical design contrasts with the natural landscape of the limestone rock they connect. But it's once you get to the top that you will understand the affection of the people of Grenoble for the Bastille. Built in the 19th century in anticipation of attacks from the Carthusian monastery, it offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding area, especially the city of Grenoble and the long trenches dug by the boulevards. A charming panoramic restaurant offers you the opportunity to take a gourmet break while enjoying this exceptional landscape. But the Bastille also has many entertainment activities linked to the history and geography of the place, such as the Musée des Troupes de Montagne or the via ferrata and Acrobastille, which offers a recreational and sporting exploration of the mountains. Whether you're a history buff, an outdoor enthusiast or looking for something a little different, you'd be well advised to take a look at this unrivaled vantage point.
