Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Grenoble

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 Saint-Michel peak, like the Moucherotte, dominates the Grenoble basin. To make this pleasant hike you can leave from different hamlets of Lans-en-Vercors. The shortest step is to drive by car to the Tallow Parking car park (on the road to the snow stadium). The Allières (cottage-restaurant) are available. From here you can take a circuit by joining the Arc de l'Arc, then the Saint-Michel peak through its southern edge. The descent will take place through a beautiful trail that leaves a little north of the summit.

This easy hike can be done on foot in summer or snowshoes in the winter. Two paths lead to the old village and the Plateau plateau. The first part of the village itself of Gears. The second (sharper and more direct) part of the hamlet of Fournel. The old village of Sornin is easily reached, with a very interesting water point in summer. By continuing, beyond north-northeast, you can reach the tooth of the Wolf, which is a beautiful viewpoint on the valley of Isère and on the Chartreuse. This summit is (alas) easily recognisable because it runs a high-voltage line.

In the heart of Mauritania, women in the Adrar Oasis had to develop gardening activities to survive the drought of desert lands. However, breeding and culture of these rare parcels of life are not enough for the survival of the community. These women have therefore opened up to tourists access to traditional tents and stone houses and land to make their way of life and the exceptional sites that the desert has to offer. Access is done by Paris or Marseille, and every penny spent is returned to that community.
