Activity itinerary
105 Rue Saint-Laurent (Pass by)
Arriving on the Place de la Cymaise, you are facing the emblematic Fountain of Leo and Snake, one of the oldest in the city.
Place Saint-Laurent (Pass by)
You cross the Isère thanks to the Saint-Laurent footbridge which until the 17th century was the only bridge in Grenoble. It was originally a wooden toll bridge that was washed away a thousand times by the river floods and rebuilt a thousand times.
Palais du Parlement du Dauphiné (Pass by)
Here you are now on Place Saint-André, facing the beautiful flamboyant Gothic façade of the Parliament Palace. The parliament is a listed historic building, the oldest part of which dates back to the 15th century.
Collegiale Saint Andre (Pass by)
Here, facing the collegiate church of Saint-André, you are in the heart of the dolphin district, place of power of the Dolphins in the Middle Ages. Here, the Dolphin has nothing to do with the eldest son of the King of France. This is the title held by the Counts of Vienna.
Catedral de Notre Dame (Pass by)
Here you are, facing Notre-Dame Cathedral in Grenoble.The bishopric of Grenoble goes back a very long way!! Almost at the beginning of Christianity!
Halle Sainte-Claire (Pass by)
Now make way for gastronomy and local products! France can be visited by tasting the flavours of its different regions and Dauphiné is not left out for quality local products.
Place Grenette (Pass by)
Here you are in Place Grenette. Until the end of the 14th century, you would have been outside the city walls, at the foot of the Gallo-Roman enclosure.
Eglise Saint Louis (Pass by)
You arrive at the forecourt of the church of Saint-Louis, built in the 17th century. The Bishop of Grenoble, Monsignor Le Camus, decided to have it built. He's even building two!
Place Victor Hugo (Pass by)
This beautiful green square was dedicated to Victor Hugo who died the year it was created. Previously there were the old Bonne barracks and the old perimeter wall.
Jardin de Ville (Pass by)
You have just entered the City Garden, a small dose of nature in the city centre. It is a typical example of a classic French garden, composed on one side of a wood, where you will find plane trees, chestnuts and lime trees, and on the other a part flowered with rose garden, palm trees and orange trees.
Grenoble (Pass by)
You reach the docks, from where we have a nice view of the alignment of colourful buildings on the other side of the Isère. Attention, here you must make a crucial choice!!
Grenoble (Pass by)
Be careful, we will begin our ascent towards the Fort de la Bastille. It is an uphill climb that follows arranged paths and stairs with a positive elevation gain of almost 300m.
Jardin des Dauphins (Pass by)
So here we are in the gardens of the Dolphins. You are at the GR 9 Check-out Point for the Isère/Savoie part. This GR does a good thousand km and leaves the Jura to reach the Mediterranean.
Parc Guy Pape (Pass by)
Small photo stop to rest a bit of this great climb to the Bastille. There are many views during this climb!
Fort de la Bastille (Pass by)
Congratulations to those who went up on foot! The others, I hope you made beautiful photos! You've all arrived at the Bastille fort. Do not hesitate to explore the places, terraces and gazebos are there to offer you breathtaking views as well as explanations about Grenoble and its region as well as the fortifications.
Grenoble (Pass by)
Come on, one last view of the mountains before heading back down to the city. Admire one last time the Vercors and Belledonne mountains.
Porte Saint Laurent (Pass by)
On your left, see the Porte Saint Laurent. It is one of the five gates of the 17th century enclosure. Built in 1615, it was the gateway to Savoy via the Grésivaudan valley.
Musee Archeologique Saint-Laurent (Pass by)
To your right, if you want to visit it, today or later, you have the St. Lawrence Archaeological Museum.
Quartier Saint-Laurent (Pass by)
You are now in Saint-Laurent Street in the heart of the Saint-Laurent neighbourhood. It is the oldest district of the city. Located on the right bank of the Isère, it is called “little Italy” for its pretty colourful facades and the fact that its inhabitants arrived from Puglia to Italy.
