“Roland and Anne have a really comfortable family home set in a very private cul de sac, in the village of Belmont, close to Grenoble. The house offers a great touring base, with incredible scenery over a number of close-by cols along with lots of walks and day trips in close proximity. Grenoble offers the perfect city scape for alternative city based interests. We (four very mature adults) really enjoyed our time in Belmont and would have no hesitation in returning there at some future date. Liam & Mary July 2014”

About our home
We have a beautiful and spacious contemporary house with a large garden and superb views of the mountains. Our house is situated in a semi-rural setting 20 km to the south of Grenoble; our house is located in a village near Vaulnaveys le haut, situated at the base of the Belledonne Alps and a short drive (18 km) to the Chamrousse ski station (site of the '68 winter Olympic ski runs). The house itself has an open floor plan, including a large kitchen, dining area and sitting area with fire place, and a living room. There is one guest room with an en-suite shower. The master bedroom, 2 children's rooms, and a 2nd bathroom are located upstairs. The garden terrace is ideally suited for eating outside or just enjoying the views of the mountains.

We are a family of four, two children 17 and 16 years old, my wife and I, who are both scientific researchers. My wife is French whereas I am German-American. We enjoy travel and the opportunity to meet people in foreign countries. We have exchanged houses several times so far and have always enjoyed the experience.

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Rural village (Vaulnaveys) with good bus connections (20 min walk to bus stop) to downtown Grenoble and SNCF train station/bus station/airport bus station. The closest airports are Grenoble-Isère and Lyon St. Exupéry (1 h from Grenoble). From our house a 20 minute walk will take you to shopping and restaurants (including a Michelin 2*) in Uriage les Bains (a thermal spa town). Even though you can get around with public transportation, we suggest you have a car to fully take advantage of all of the sight-seeing opportunities in our area. There are excellent hiking opportunities close by in the Belledonne Mts.,and slightly further away, in the Chartreuse or Vercors Mts. About one hour south is the Ecrins National Park, with the southern most 4000m peaks of the Alps.
