The Presqu'ile is a lovely area of Lyon. It's full of restaurants, cafes, fashion and other types of stores. It also has wonderful architecture as well as some stunning buildings. This is certainly a part of Lyon one has to visit.

Chambery old town is a small area of medieval buildings, mostly houses set amid hidden courtyards and narrow passages. Several of the houses have towers housing spiral staircases - the higher the tower the more important was the family! There are short stretches of the old fortified town walls and some lovely arcades (rue de Boigne). The old town has many bars and restaurants as well as interesting shops, including traditional chocolatiers and cheese mongers. It is well worth a stroll for an hour or so and a drink or meal. If arriving by car, park in one of the big car parks and walk from there.

Quartier Saint-Laurent is located at the base of the Bastille and is an area steeped in history. It is also a very picturesque part of the city being on the bank of the Isère River. Italian immigrants settled in Saint-Laurent giving the district a distinct identity. It is an atmospheric place and somewhere worth visiting whilst in Grenoble.

Brilliant chance to meet the mountain goats. This is well worth the trip to walk through the village and feed the goats. The shops sell goat food and the friendly goats will allow you to hand feed them although some of the cheekier ones will definitely try to pinch the whole bag. If you don't fancy eating so close to the odour of goat pop a short walk up the hill will take you to Kes Marmottes restaurant where you can try the best burgers in the Alps. The VTT special is 13 Euros for a burger, fries and a drink or pizza, fries and a drink.
