Overview

Although well noted as a winter play place with many alpine ski resorts nearby, Grenoble also offers numerous outdoor activities during the warmer parts of the year. The many universities located here add an intellectual and international feeling to this enchanting yet isolated city. Grenoble is home to one of the World Trade Centers and several strong international businesses. The Museum of Art and the many historical Napoleonic streets all contribute to the distinguishing character of this city. A mechanical lift takes visitors up the overlooking mountain to the old fort, offering a breathtaking view. The fort represents the highly interesting and important history of Grenoble during the Spanish Inquisition. After a full day of activities, visit either the Italian section on the left bank, or one of the many intimate and warm restaurants found along the narrow, old streets.
