Place Notre-Dame
And as Grenoble is no stranger to history, the Fontaine des Trois Ordres (erected in 1888) reminds us that the reunion of the Dauphiné Clergy, Nobility and Third Estate in 1788 was one of the founding events of the French Revolution.
A veritable history book, it recounts these pre-Revolutionary events under the protection of four bronze tritons who proclaim loud and clear the values of the nascent Republic: Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité and Justice.
The square's bright atmosphere and southern flavors (Brocherie, Chenoise...) make it a popular crossroads for terraces and restaurants from near and far.
