guide to grenoble

history
Grenoble, located 100 kilometres southeast of Lyon, lies at the foot of the Alps and is the tourist and commercial epicentre of this mountain range. Travellers moving between the Riviera and Geneva often stop here. Since early in its history (the University of Grenoble was founded in 1339), the city has also had a reputation as an intellectual and educational focal point. The university boasts the biggest summer-session program in Europe. Grenoble is also known as a winter sports mecca – it hosted the 1986 Winter Olympics, and plans to bid for the 2018 Games.

things to do
One of France's oldest museums (founded in 1796), Musée de Grenoble was one of the first French museums outside of art-centric Paris to showcase modern art. Picasso was impressed enough by that distinction to donate his work, Femme Lisant, in 1921. The Impressionist works housed here draw the most attention. Pieces by heavyweights like Ernst, Matisse, Klee, Monet, and Gauguin can all be found gracing the walls. There is also an esplanade and park surrounding the gallery and home to many modern-art sculptures.

Aéroport de St-Etienne de Saint-Geoirs is a short drive from Grenoble's city centre, and you can pick up your car hire in the terminal. Chambéry makes for a pleasurable side trip, lying just 55 kilometres north of Grenoble. This city is a good place to start a tour of the Parc des Bauges, a breathtaking wilderness area full of rolling green hills, valleys, mountains, and abundant wildlife. Also not to be missed is the famous spa resort of Aix-Les-Bains, only about a 10-kilometre drive from Chambéry.

nightlife
Place St-André is not only the heart of Grenoble's historic city centre, but also home to an exuberant nightlife scene. This picturesque square begins to teem with young revelers as evening begins to fall. Other good bets for a night on the town include Le Saxo, which hosts a lively patio party with a rousty sound system. Le Styx, boasting an eclectic mix of danceable tunes, is a popular place to cut a rug, and Le Georges V is Grenoble's most vibrant gay nightclub.
