Starting out from "Le Village" on the outskirts of Grenoble just the other side of the ringroad, you can see a symbol of the revolution, feel some nostalgia for "La Belle Epoque", get a big breath of fresh air, be moved by the memory of those who were deported by the nazis, visit one of Vauban's forts that were supposed to protect Grenoble from invasion, see some street art and get some stunning views of Grenoble and the mountains that surround it.

To visit France, what could be better than the small roads that avoid traffic jams and allow you to enjoy the uniqueness of each region, exploring small villages and breathing the fresh country air. From Grenoble, we arrived in Provence through the apple orchards of the 'Hautes Alpes' and then the lavender fields and vineyards of the 'Alpes de Haute Provence' and the Vaucluse.

A beautiful rose garden is located in the gardens of the museum Geo-Charles in Échirolles. Formerly, the house belonged to the plant manager of the Viscose factory.

The museum houses the private collections and archives of a sports writer and columnist known as Géo-Charles. Although you may be disturbed by noise from the nearby motorway, a visit to the Rose Garden is well worth the trip. But here, you can have a quiet visit.
