                <description><![CDATA[The St Laurent bridge connects the city centre of Grenoble to La Tronche - Grenoble's oldest district. This iron chain bridge is closed to cars and is a great place to take pictures of the famous "Bulles".<br>It's also the starting point for those who choose to take the arduous 45 minute walk up to La Bastille.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The cathedral of Our Lady looks rather plain from the outside as it doesn't have the spires or the gothic façade which make it resemble a cathedral, but don't be put off by this - inside there are magnificent chapels with colourful and striking paintings and altars.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The main reason for taking the cable car up to La Bastille is to take in the 360° view of Grenoble's wide boulevards and motorways as well as the Dauphine Alps which encircle the whole city from the roof of the Terrase restaurant. If you're lucky and it's a clear day you can see Mont Blanc. I saw it and it looked so close!<br><br>The views are breathtaking and only from La Bastille can you appreciate the immense size of Grenoble.<br>Best of all the views are free!<br><br>For even better views there is a path which you can walk up which goes up from behind the fortress to the top of the mountain which it sits on.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[One thing that you must do is take the speedy "Bulles" from Grenoble city centre up to La Bastille, in just 20 minutes it whisks you high above the Isere river and the La Tronche district of Grenoble, it's the first city centre cable car to be constructed in the world.]]></description>
