    A unique military heritage <\/h2> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
    \r\n

    The history of Grenoble is inextricably linked to the Bastille, a strategic site that has been occupied for over 2,000 years. This fortified limestone rock has evolved over the centuries:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 1591:<\/strong> The Duke of Lesdigui\u00e8res builds the first fortifications on the hill, with only remnants remaining today, such as a turret.<\/li>\n
    • 1692:<\/strong> Vauban draws up a report and a project for new fortifications for the Bastille. However, the project was never realized.<\/li>\n
    • 1823 – 1848:<\/strong> Construction of the current fortifications by General Haxo to protect the Dauphin\u00e9 from potential attacks by the Duchy of Savoy.<\/li>\n
    • 1934:<\/strong> Installation of the world’s first urban cable car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Listed as a Historic Monument, the Bastille is now a popular place for walking, history and leisure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\n\n
