A Walk Around Fort de la Bastille, Grenoble, France
The Bastille is a military fort built in the 19th century on the hill that gave it its name. Overlooking the city of Grenoble, it takes 7 minutes to reach it on the famous Grenoble Cable Car.
It is the most-visited tourist site in the Grenoble area. Museums, high ropes, escape game, via ferrata, and a range of dining options and function rooms all contribute to making the Bastille a unique, lively site all year round.
Offering an outstanding view of the city and mountains, the Bastille is also a classified natural area of ecological, flora and fauna interest (ZNIEFF) on account of its Mediterranean-type vegetation and diverse range of fauna.

The Bastille is the name of a fortress culminating at 476 m (1,561ft) above sea level, located at the south end of the Chartreuse mountain range and overlooking the city of Grenoble, France. The Bastille, which also gives its name to the hill, is the main tourist site of the Grenoble area with 600 000 visitors per year.
The fortress lies on the final promontory of Mount Rachais, a narrow mountain that is the most southerly of the Chartreuse range. The plateau of the fortress' main fortifications is situated 264 metres above a singularly flat valley floor which is glacial in origin. The melting of the Isère glacier approximately 25,000 years ago led to the formation of a vast lake stretching from Voiron to Albertville and which remained for approximately 10,000 years. The filling-in of this lake by alluvial deposits created the perfectly flat valley floors that are in evidence today.
The location of the fort was chosen because it facilitated the surveillance and control of the city of Grenoble, from the 19th century onward, as well as the valleys of the Isère and the Drac, all the while being difficult to attack and overthrow because of the cliffs and steep ground by which it is surrounded.
In December 1590 Lesdiguières,[N 1] head of the Huguenots in the Dauphiné, took control of the city of Grenoble which had been until then under Roman Catholic control. This took place during the eighth and last Wars of Religion. With an army of 1,200 men gathered at Moirans, he marched towards Grenoble, passing through Saint-Martin-le-Vinoux and then over a spur of Mount Rachais called the Rabot, there avoiding a fortified stronghold.[N 2] There was a single canon positioned on the slopes of Mount Rachais because this rocky spur was thought to be enough of a natural barrier to deter the advance of hostile forces. But in spite of a permanent state of alert and 24 watch points in the city, Grenoble fell to Lesdiguières after more than three weeks under siege.
A century after the construction of the Bastille, the military architect Vauban, during his first inspection of the fortifications of the Alps in September 1692, alerted the king, Louis XIV, to the weaknesses of the defences of Grenoble. In his report, he described them as weak, unfinished, poorly maintained, especially those of the Bastille, which he said were badly cut, or rather a closed bauble, but without rhyme or reason, occupied by a vintner who is the governor, or at least who has the keys, with twelve cows, eight goats, a mare and a donkey for the whole garrison
After the rout of Napoleon in Europe, the treaty of Fontainebleau in 1814 and that of Paris the following year put Grenoble back on the frontier opposite the Kingdom of Sardinia. Louis XVIII therefore decided in 1815 to reinforce his military presence on the borders. The following year, he charged General Haxo with the task of improving the fortifications of Grenoble that had become outdated and dilapidated.
The fortress of the Bastille was not intended for firing on the city below, the artillery of the time being too imprecise. Its only weakness is that it is overlooked by the Chartreuse, which is why it is laid out in such a way as to facilitate firing towards the mountains behind and to repel any attacks coming from the Chartreuse. The keep of the fortress therefore, unlike those of the Middle Ages, is deliberately low and hidden by vegetation in order to surprise the enemy. It is separated from the rest of the mountain by a glacis and by ditches. The moat of the keep is defended by two half-bastions from which fire can be directed across each access point of the moat.

The Bastille is the name of a fortress culminating at 476 m above sea level, located at the south end of the Chartreuse mountain range and overlooking the city of Grenoble, France.
The Bastille, which also gives its name to the hill, is the main tourist site of the Grenoble area with 600 000 visitors per year.
The fortress lies on the final promontory of Mount Rachais, a narrow mountain that is the most southerly of the Chartreuse range.
The plateau of the fortress' main fortifications is situated 264 metres above a singularly flat valley floor which is glacial in origin.

as well as the valleys of the Isère and the Drac, all the while being difficult to attack and overthrow because of the cliffs and steep ground by which it is surrounded.
The Bastille is visited by some 600,000 people each year, approximately half of whom take the cable car from the city centre.
The rest of the visitors go by car up the steep and narrow road from La Tronche, or on foot by one of the numerous signposted paths to reach the Bastille.
In 2005 the Bastille underwent substantial works in order to make the entirety of the site accessible to persons of reduced mobility.
It is the setting for numerous exhibitions and social and cultural events, while also being the destination of an annual cycle race (La Prise De La Bastille) and a via ferrata (Les Prises De La Bastille).
There are reminders everywhere on the site of the protagonists of the fortifications of the hill.
The central square of the fort is called Place Tournadre, the square above between the restaurant and the fort is Place Haxo,
the terrace of the restaurant is the Belvédère Vauban (Vauban Viewpoint), and the large meeting and exhibition room of the fort is the Lesdiguières Room.

A Ride on the Grenoble Aerial Cable Car to The Bastille, France
The Grenoble-Bastille cable car also affectionately known as Les bulles (English: the bubbles), is a cable car in the French city of Grenoble. It links the city centre with the Bastille, a former fortress overlooking the city.
In July 2017, the metropolis of Grenoble installed a webcam on the roof of the upper station of the cable car, offering Internet users a 220° panoramic photograph of the city every 20 minutes, with several definitions of images. Thanks to the archiving of these photographs that have been available since July 13, 2017, visitors to the terrace of the Geologists and the belvedere Vauban can see each other in the photos.
