Téléphérique de la Bastille

The gondola in Grenoble is among the first urban cable cars in the world, following those of Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town. Its construction dates back to 1934, spurred by Paul Michoud, vice-president of the tourist chamber, and Paul Mistral, then mayor of Grenoble, followed by his successor Léon Martin.

Starting from the city center of Grenoble, this gondola provides quick access to La Bastille, a military fort built in the 19th century on a hill that also bears its name and dominates the greater Grenoble area.
