Grenoble city guide: sightseeings and touristic places
Grenoble is made up of a mixture of rushing life of people and historical treasures. The city is divided into two parts reflecting modern life and the historic Old Town. Thus, almost every visitor can find things interesting for him there from accommodation and entertainment facilities to historical places of interest. Some places of interest such as walls, for example, still remain original, built in the third century.
