- 🥾🟢Tour: Grotte les Cuves de Sassenage et Hike/Swim/Picnic Waterfalls 🥾🟢La Poya, Fontaine
💡 Read the full page by clicking on "Read more"/"Lire la suite"...💜
Joining the event = Accepting the rules (See rule section below)
== 🥾🟢 Plan ==
A continuation in a series of "Easy Hikes Around Town Without Cars" GAC Events I'll be hosting this summer. In two (2) parts:
We will meet at the rally point and walk to the village of Sassenage.
- We will visit the underground Caves/Cuves du Sassenage for a guided tour. The venue entry fee/cost is [Adult: 8 € ; Student : 7 € ; Enfant : 5 €] and it takes about 30-45 minutes.
NOTE: The temperature underground is 10 - 15degC, so one must bring a jacket or hoodie, even if it is 35degC in downtown Grenoble.
- After the tour is over, we will take a walk and follow the beautiful trail that shadows "Le Furon", named for it's stunning beauty and potential ferocity, a series of cascades that descend from the heart of the Vercor Mountains down into the village of Sassenage (just north-west of Grenoble).
Near the cascades, temperatures are normally 5degC cooler than in the city center, so this is an exceptionally good place/location to visit during the "dog days of summer" in Grenoble to beat the heat.
== Walking Route Details ==
The walk/hike part of the event event is 5 miles / 8km distance over mixed terrain (Roads, Trails, Cascades/Boulders) - Out and Back

== About / Background ''
"Hector Berlioz was a French composer , conductor , music critic and writer.The museum is Housed in the birthplace of the great romantic musician in La Côte Saint-André, the Hector Berlioz Museum evokes his life and work.
Born on December 11, 1803, Hector Berlioz received an education from his father marked by the ideas of an enlightened 18th century doctor. Within these walls, he discovered music and composed his first romances at a very young age. [...]
Period furniture, original scores, correspondence and musical instruments that belonged to Hector Berlioz, paintings and engravings adorn the rooms of the house, which have retained their original decor. Regular temporary exhibitions enrich the cultural program, while the auditorium offers the composer's works to listen to."
== 🥾🟢 Plan ==
The museum is approximately 50% of the distance to Lyon; no direct bus or train, but we can make a day-trip out of it (weather permitting)
We will take a small regional (TER) Train, then a bicycle ride.
