After spending a beautiful sunny day in Lyon , we went to the Grenoble area, to Voiron more precisely, where we spent a few days with our family. It was the perfect opportunity to discover Grenoble and the Chartreuse region that Nath did not know at all Seb grew up in Grenoble and especially to try out some activities in the area. If you are a thrillseeker or you like to discover the French heritage, our suggestions should please you with the address of a great place to spend the night as a bonus!
This getaway to Grenoble was also a good excuse to organize a small reunion with our blogger friends we had met in Corsica at the Travel Bloggers Convention a few months earlier. After a long hesitation, we finally opted for an afternoon tree climbing, an activity that few of us had already tested but which seriously piqued our curiosity! Simply put, tree climbing is a sport that is generally practiced outdoors and consists of following an obstacle course while being several meters high.
In our case, the activity was at the Bastille, an impressive military construction, formerly a war fort, that overlooks Grenoble. It is the ideal place to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over Grenoble! Accessible by cable car, it is also possible to go up there by foot which is already a nice walk in itself as Laurianne says on her blog here.
We, lazy people, went up by cable car directly! And once there, you will quickly end up dressed with all the necessary gear to ensure your safety. After some explanations and recommendations, it was time to start the course and the least we can say is that the sensations were definitely there!
It took us a lot of concentration to go through it while carefully avoid to look down at the risk of being paralyzed at the thought of ending up in the bushes under our feet! It is good to know that it is possible at any time to turn back or turn off to a less difficult course and, especially, that the monitors are very present, it was very reassuring!
