Grenoble Travel Forum

Salut,
we will travel by car. Lyon to Gap via Grenoble. We travel with child 2yo.Would like to make a short break in Grenoble. Could you tell where we can go in Grenoble excapte centre, down town. Can we take a cable car to see the panarama?

I'm not too good on things to do with a 2-year-old. They seen to like a lot of action. One thing you all might enjoy is the cable car to the citadel on the hilltop. They are bubble cars so you can see all around including the city and the surrounding mountains. It is a fabulous view and I think any child would be enchanted. There is free parking near the Hotel de Ville and you can walk toward the river where you will immediately see the little bubbles going up whilst crossing the river. Easy to follow them to the base.

The Beaux Arts is excellent but I'm not sure a small child would enjoy it. There are some wondrous modern pieces a little one might enjoy though in the modern part.

Have fun. BTW, the parking lot won our prize for the world's most beautiful parking lot. It's filled with trees and flowers, depending on time of year, of course.

i read on VT site that the cabel car cost 2.5e. Do u think it will be possible to come back ourself by walk from the hill to town? How much time it can take in december 11/12?

thanks

It is very doable to walk down instead of using the cable car. It will take you less than half hour.
