Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Isère

A symbol of the city, the Grenoble are used to preaching the merits of the "eggs" that take you to the summit of the Bastille. However, we often forget that we can climb this mountain on foot in 1 h from the Porte de France. A pleasant walk, certainly sloping, but offering a breathtaking view on arrival: on the left of the mountains, in front of the mountains, and to the right still mountains! You can know it by heart, the view always leaves speechless. A trick, make it at dusk, because the view on the illuminated city in the night is even more striking!

The easiest way is to drive by car to the parking lot near a farm at the top of the village (at the foot of the old ski trail). From here you can take the path that climbs in the forest or directly the old ski trail. The normal path then follows the old ski trail, which will have to be left on the right to take a trail that walks in sous and then in pastures. The summit offers a magnificent view of the Grenoble agglomeration and all the surrounding areas.

The nature guides of the General Council show you the life of the marsh, its fauna and flora.

On the track of the Croq'Images. Pleasant and fun walk to discover Saint-Geoire otherwise. Conduct your inquiry through the smart discovery kit (game cards, explanations, illustrated plan…). On the way for an unexpected half day!

This site is protected and has been officially classified as the Area of Protection of Architectural Heritage, Urban and Landscape in 1997. Many vestiges of human occupation dating back to prehistoric times were discovered. Fossils were found in different layers of the basement reminiscent of the presence of the sea in the secondary age, including a ichtyosaure, a fossil reptile of two hundred million years.
