Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Grenoble.
If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Little copains, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Grenoble. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in France!
