Grenoble is situated at the base of the French Alps, and has often been given the title ‘Capital of the Alps'. The city is framed by mountain scenery and Bastille Hill is the major landmark. Visitors will often take the famous cable cars to the top of the hill to enjoy the amenities and views at the top. The Museum of Grenoble on the banks of the Isere has one of the finest historical art collections in France. Car hire from Grenoble railway station means you can explore the alpine scenery of the Parc Naturel Regional du Vercors, as well as nearby ski resorts such as Les Deux-Alpes.
