Grenoble is a city in southeastern France, at the foot of the French Alps where the river Drac joins the Isere. Located in the Rhone-Alpes region. The proximity of the mountains, as well as its size, has led to the city being known in France as the "Capital of the Alps". The Bastille, an ancient series of fortifications on the mountainside overlooking Grenoble on the northern side is visible from many points in the city. The Bastille is one of Grenoble's most visited tourist attractions and provides a good vantage point over the town below and the surrounding mountains.

Our trip was awesome as far as route and hotels are concerned. I loved your website because it enabled me to pick a perfect route, get distances, hotel options connected automatically to Tripadvisor reviews etc. Your staff was friendly and helpful, the hotels had our information and were all that was promised. I will use your site again for sure. The hotel prices were awesome.

Thank you for your email, our trip was amazing. I found the whole experience of using RoutePerfect brilliant. It made it so easy to plan your trip, and work out travelling time between each place, so we weren't in the car over 2 hours each journey. The hotels we chose were great. And the reviews were spot on. We loved our whole trip from start to finish and we have already discussed where we would like to go next year. So I will definitely be using RoutePerfect again.
