Bastille (Grenoble)
The Bastille is the name of a fortress culminating at 476 m (ft) above sea level,〔According to a GPS survey by a surveyor at the request of the Téléphérique management : Place Tournadre from m to m. Arrival platform of the cable car station and geologists terrace m. Place Haxo m. Vauban panoramic viewpoint m. The signpost installed by the city in Place Tournadre indicating an elevation of 498m is therefore incorrect. This error may have arisen because the IGN 1:25000 map of the area (ref 3335OT) shows a triangulation point at 498m, but situated on the highest point of the fort (inaccessible to the public).〕 at the south end of the Chartreuse mountain range, overlooking the city of Grenoble, France. The Bastille, which also gives its name to the hill, is the main tourist site of the Grenoble area with 600 000 visitors per year.〔According to the web site of the Téléphérique.〕
== Geography ==
The fortress lies on the final promontory of mount Rachais, a narrow mountain that is the most southerly of the Chartreuse range.
The plateau of the main fortifications is situated 264 metres above a singularly flat valley floor which is glacial in origin. It was the melting of the Isère glacier approximately years ago〔According to the geological information boards to be found on the paths ascending to the Bastille.〕 that led to the formation of a vast lake stretching from Voiron to Albertville, and which remained for approximately years. It is the alluvial deposits from this lake that created the perfectly flat valley floors that are in evidence today.
The location of the fort was chosen because it facilitated the surveillance and control of the city of Grenoble from the 19th century as well as the valleys of the Isère and the Drac, all the while being difficult to attack and overthrow because of the cliffs and steep ground by which it is surrounded.
