Place Grenette
Grenoble's liveliest central square, ringed by café terraces, with the Sainte-Claire covered market nearby.
The square sits between the old and new towns, surrounded by 19th-century buildings and cafés. Tram lines meet here, and it is where locals gather for dates and shopping. A few steps east is the Sainte-Claire covered market, where you can buy cheese, walnuts and ingredients for gratin dauphinois, and the nearby pedestrian streets are full of shops. It works well as a starting point for an old-town stroll or as a place for a drink in the evening.
