The entire chemin de la Bastille, or the most direct and steepest way up to the Bastille by road! :-) Right from the start, a narrow, steep alley weaving its way between two rows of houses on the border between Grenoble and La Tronche, you're in for a tough ride and there's no respite until you reach the top, apart from a temporary dip in the gradient two hairpin bends before the finish. Purists will prefer this start to the traditional one at La Tronche town hall, further north ... read more

This is serious stuff! More than the 440 points would suggest. The road is very clean. It's a sustained effort practically the whole way. Sore lower back...
The view is beautiful. At the top, a tree climbing course for children.
A must if you're in the area!

J’ai suivi le conseil de Franck.
C’est sérieux ! Plus que les 440 points ne le laissent imaginer. La route est très propre. C’est un effort soutenu pratiquement tout le long. Mal en bas du dos…
La vue est très belle. En haut, un parcours accrobranche pour enfants.
Ah oui et puis ces lacets sont formidables !
J’oubliais le musée des troupes de montagnes. De tout pour tout le monde.
Incontournable si l’on est dans le coin !

The entire chemin de la Bastille, or the most direct and steepest way up to the Bastille by road! :-)

Right from the start, a narrow, steep alley weaving its way between two rows of houses on the border between Grenoble and La Tronche, you're in for a tough ride and there's no respite until you reach the top, apart from a temporary dip in the gradient two hairpin bends before the finish.

Purists will prefer this start to the traditional one at La Tronche town hall, further north and slightly higher up.

Le chemin de la Bastille dans son intégralité, ou la façon la plus directe et la plus pentue de monter à la Bastille par la route ! :-)

Dès le début, une ruelle étroite en forte pente se faufilant entre deux rangées d'habitations à la limite entre Grenoble et La Tronche, on est dans le dur et il n'y aura plus de répit jusqu'au sommet, à part une baisse provisoire de pente deux lacets avant l'arrivée.

Les puristes préfèreront ce départ-là au départ traditionnel de la mairie de La Tronche située plus au nord et légèrement plus haut.
