Recordist's notes

It’s a usual randonnée for grenoblers or for tourists that come in for awhile : climb up to the Bastille. Three main ways do it : the simplest is to take the bubble telephérique, but if you want to really climb, you can choose the western garden of Guy Pape, or, like here, the eastern way along the fortifications built to protect the city from the Savoyan invasions. Then you’ll have to walk up the « stairs of giants ». Here is the first one, of 380 steps. C'est une randonnée habituelle pour les Grenoblois ou pour les touristes qui viennent passer quelque temps ici : monter à la Bastille. Il y a trois chemins principaux pour y arriver : le plus simple est de prendre le téléphérique, mais si vous voulez vraiment marcher et grimper, vous pouvez choisir le jardin ouest de Guy Pape, ou, comme ici, le chemin est qui longe les fortifications construites pour protéger la ville des invasions savoyardes. Vous devrez alors monter les « escaliers des géants ». Voici le premier, qui compte 380 marches. enregistrment binaural + Olympus LS12
