Grenoble

Grenoble is one of France's top locations for nature and sustainable tourism, including hiking, climbing, skiing, bicycling, culinary and wellness vacations. Slow travel, public transportation, and cycling are encouraged, as is local organic production of seasonal fruits and vegetables. For these reasons, it has been designated as one of the official European Green Capitals 2022. Grenoble is a naturalist's dream, surrounded by mountains and gorgeous woods, secluded valleys and natural plains. The French city has been lauded for its creative approach to climate management, which includes a strong commitment to systemic change and an innovative participatory approach to municipal administration.

Green areas abound in Grenoble's city center, including the Pompidou and Champs Elysées parks, the Parc des Dauphins pleasure gardens, and the Botanical Garden. There is a sizable "Greeter" population who adores its city and will gladly accompany guests. The emergence of soft mobility is without a doubt one of the greatest instances of transition. The public transportation system was one of the first in the world to be totally accessible to those with limited mobility, commencing a change of public space in the 1970s in order to build a city suited for all. Today, thanks to a network of 5 tram lines, nearly 50 bus lines in the Grenoble area, 21 park-and-ride facilities, the SMMAG creates transport solutions that support users towards simplified, carbon-free and more ecological mobility.
