Musee de Grenoble

Reviewed By JoeDec2014 - Chicago, United States

This museum surprised us with its beautiful exhibitions. In particular, the Picasso war exhibition was fantastic. In the museum they have paintings done by famous painters as well as gorgeous works of art by unknown ones (at least to me). Highly recommend!

Grenoble Bastille Cable Car

Reviewed By skyblueboy2014 - Leicester, United Kingdom

This good value system takes you near vertically up to the Bastille fortification with a small museum and two good restaurants Excellent views over Grenoble and you can just glimpse Mont Blanc over the mountains to your back A good experience is to ride up, indulge in good food looking out over the city and then walk the winding trail back down.

Saint-Laurent Archaeological Museum

Reviewed By oval66 - Lyon, France

We loved this little museum in Grenoble. Entrance is free, and they give you a great audioguide, also for free. The interpretation is very well done, the site is very well maintained and it was really interesting to walk around the excavations and see the different historic periods at the same time. My 5 year old had a blast there as well. It is very child friendly. They gave my son a map with images and throughout our walk-thought we had to find all these special objects or markers. He loved it! And the staff was really nice and welcoming as well. Highly recommend it if you have a sejour in Grenoble.

Grenoble-Bastille Cable Car

Reviewed By antoniomM6608WI - Copenhagen, Denmark

Grenoble is famous because of many things. The city was hosting Olympic games in 1968. This has been also a strategic city in France throughout hundreds of years. Take a panoramic ride in one of the round cable cars up to the hill where the famous Bastille is situated - you won't regret it. Besides spectacular views, there is a museum inside the Bastille where you can learn a bit about history of the city and "see" french warriors as well as french resistance in the Alps. I highly recommend. Outside of the Bastille, you can take an easy hike uphill as well as explore a tunnel or grots.

Les 7 Laux

Située au coeur du massif de Belledonne (en Isère), la station 4 saisons des 7 Laux, se décompose en 3 sites : -A l'est, Le Pleynet (1450 m), site pleine montagne, domine la vallée du Haut Bréda face aux cimes ciselées de la Belle Etoile et des Cabottes. -A l'ouest, Prapoutel (1350 m), site “urbain” avec tous ses commerces (cinéma, discothèque...), - et Pipay (1550 m), site nature, surplombent la vallée du Grésivaudan. Côté glisse, le domaine skiable des 7 Laux a la particularité d'être quasi entièrement renouvelé. En effet, en l'espace d'une quinzaine d'années, 90 % des remontées mécaniques des 7 Laux ont été changées et modernisées. Plus grand domaine skiable de la chaîne de Belledonne, les 7 Laux est une véritable espace de loisirs, proposant une grande diversité de glisses avec son snowpark, son accès sécurisé aux Vallons du Pra, deux sites de ski nordique, du snakegliss… Mais aussi des activités hors-glisse et de nombreuses animations pour toute la famille. #Les7Laux

Les 2 Alpes

Située entre les Alpes du Nord et les Alpes du Sud, dans le département de l'Isère, la célèbre station de ski des 2 Alpes a été édifiée en 1946 sur les anciens alpages des villages de Mont de Lans et de Venosc. Dynamique, sportive et branchée Les 2 Alpes est l'une des plus grandes stations internationales de ski. Avec une neige naturelle garantie tout au long de la saison, grâce à son glacier culminant à 3600m d’altitude et à un exceptionnel domaine skiable, Les 2 Alpes sont un véritable paradis pour tous les passionnés de nouvelles glisses !

We’re just back from our first skiing trip and had a fab time in Les Deux Alpes. We stayed at the lovely Hotel Cote Brune and were able to ski straight out of the hotel onto the nursery slopes. Our ski hire was from Hors - very straightforward and good value. The atmosphere was very family friendly, with lots of ski schools and easy access to the free lifts. The Apres Ski in the early evenings was great fun and we enjoyed tasty suppers at our hotel and lunches of crepes in the town. The next part of our trip was to beautiful Chamonix, which we loved but we felt Les Deux Alpes was a much better location as a resort for new skiers. We’ll certainly come back again!
