Day 14 of your road trip in France is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Grenoble before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Fontaine Du Lion. This intriguing monument is a popular place to see in the city.

Explore local shops for souvenirs to remember your trip or find unique gifts for loved ones.

Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Grenoble.

Dine in style at La Ferme à Dédé, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Little copains boasts a menu that's sure to impress.

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!
