Hello!
I'm a student backpacker who has Italy train pass (valid until Italian-French border), so I'm interested in best&cheapest way to come to Grenoble.
-To travel by train Torino-Grenoble and buy the ticket when I pass the border? Is there any such train and what is the cost?
-To take a bus Torino-Grenoble? Is there any, price?
-Something else?
Thank you very much!
Hi Karlo, I think all you have to do is to catch a train from Torino to Grenoble (with a change in Chambery) and buy the ticket only for the French segment(Modane - Grenoble). Visit the SNCF site for prices and schedule. There is also a bus which leaves Torino at 23:30 and arrives in Grenoble at 4:00 in the night . Check at www.eurolines.it
Yes, you have to take the train to Modane but instead of going to Chambéry, you might go only to Montmélian, which will save you 15-20 km (twice)and therefore some money.
for example :
09h40 TORINO PORTA SUSA ---> 11h05 Modane (TGV 9242)
12h20 via MODANE ---> 14h08 MONTMELIAN (bus 49850)
14h27 MONTMELIAN ---> 15h12 GRENOBLE GARE (TER 83746)
Of course, if you make Torino-Modane-Montmélian-Chambéry and then Chambéry-Montmélian-Grenoble, that will be faster but a little more expansive.
Extremely useful advices, thank you both!
You must hike to the top of the Citadel to get the view and layout of the city. You can also go the lazy route and take the tram to the top, but I lived there for a year and hiked it every time. My fondest memory is walking between the Centre and the Italian quarter across the river for a warm pizza on a cold winter's night.
In 1967, for the Winter Olympics, Grenoble needed a "Stade de Glace". P. Junillon and R. Demarini were the architects, helped by N Esquillan, a concrete architect. The cover structure is made of four segments of shells, themselves made of two 7 cm thick concrete veils separated by a technical void of 1 meter. The structure covers 12,000 square meters.
The four segments meet at right angle and built on four "culées" made of a tripod of reinforced concrete held by 24 meters deep piles. The largest span is 95m and the smallest 65 m. The cover structure is independent of the fronts that hold the steps and there is no link between both.
It is now a "Palais des sports", used for various sport events such as the cycling "Les Six jours de Grenoble" ans art shows.
Adresse : parc Paul Mistral.
The "Palais de Justice" has internal gardens. On Avenue Pierre Sémard, it has a double glass front. It stands on a socle of grey-blue granite. The superstructures are made of a metal frame. Since the 1st of October 2002, all Grenoble courtsof justice are wotking in this building.
The architect is Claude Vasconi, who conceive also the Corum of Montpellier.
Data :
* built surface : 24 000 m2
* surface of the plot : 7 000m2
* cost : 50 millions euros
* number of levels : 2 underground, 8 off ground.
Les collections proviennent des fouilles archéologiques effectuées sur le site et s'échelonnent du IIIème siècle après J.-C. à nos jours. Situé sur la rive droite de l'Isère, le musée présente des vestiges permettant de remonter le temps jusqu'aux origines du christianisme.
Le musée est installé dans une église bénédictine du XIIème siècle. Découverte en 1803 par J. J. Champollion-Figeac, frère de l'égyptologue. L'église est un des premiers monuments classés en France, grâce à l'intervention de Prosper Mérimée, inspecteur des monuments historiques. Depuis 1978, une fouille systématique est menée dans le cadre d'un programme de recherche régional sur l'évolution des églises durant le Haut Moyen Age.
