Wednesday June 14, 2023 – Fort de la Bastille – 7 pm – 11 pm

La Bastille is a military fort overlooking the city of Grenoble from 264 meters. Built during the first part of the 19th century and reaching an altitude of 476 meters on the last foothills of the Chartreuse Massif, it replaced a first fortification built at the end of the 16th century. Accessible by cable car, on foot or by car, the Bastille, which also gives its name to the hill, is the first tourist site in the Grenoble area. From there, participants will have an exceptional view of the city and the mountains.

The participants will go to the departure of the cable car with the tramway A from Alpexpo (about 30 minutes). They will be greeted by tour guides and our team to access the Bastille of Grenoble by cable car.
