Caserne de Bonne, Military barracks and shopping center in Grenoble, France
Caserne de Bonne is a redeveloped former military base in Grenoble that now houses retail shops, offices, student housing, and parking across a substantial urban site. The complex demonstrates how different urban functions—shopping, working, and living—integrate within a single location.
The grounds originated as an artillery barracks around 1883, serving military purposes for decades. During World War II, it became a site of resistance activity against occupation forces.
The site demonstrates how former military grounds transform into vibrant neighborhood spaces where commerce, living, and daily life intertwine. Visitors today see a place where retail areas, offices, and homes share the same urban fabric.
The site is easy to navigate on foot and well-connected by tram and bus routes throughout the city. Ample parking is available on-site if you arrive by car.
The redevelopment prioritized environmental responsibility through careful design and materials selection. Walking through, you notice green building practices integrated throughout the site.
