Hôtel de Lesdiguières, Heritage mansion in central Grenoble, France
The private residence stands at the corner of rue Hector-Berlioz, featuring classical architecture with symmetrical windows and decorative stone elements on the facade.
François de Bonne, Lieutenant General of Dauphiné, commissioned architect Pierre La Cuisse to construct this urban residence in 1602 as his personal dwelling.
After serving as city hall until 1967, the building now houses the International Relations Department and includes exhibition spaces and a children's library.
The mansion opens its doors throughout the year and remains accessible through tram lines A and B, with the nearest stop at Hubert Dubedout station.
The structure shares its location with the adjacent city garden, arranged across three different levels with a sculptured basin and flowered walkways.

Grenoble displays architectural developments from the medieval period to the present day. The medieval Notre-Dame Cathedral stands in the historic center, while the Art Museum offers modern exhibition spaces. The city includes the Tour Perret, a cylindrical tower building from the 1920s, and the Garage hélicoïdal, a spiral parking structure from the same era. Religious buildings such as Saint-Louis Church and Saint-Bruno Church represent different stylistic periods. The Sainte-Cécile Convent and the Palace of the Parliament of Dauphiné show historic administrative and ecclesiastical architecture. The Bastille fortress overlooks the city and can be reached by cable car from Quai Stéphane Jay. The Hôtel de Lesdiguières and the Old Episcopal Palace document aristocratic residential culture. Paul-Mistral Park forms a large green space containing Lesdiguières Stadium and the Alpexpo conference center. The Saint-Laurent Bridge crosses the Isère River, while the Sainte-Claire market halls house daily commerce. Vizille Castle lies outside the city in the commune of the same name. The Musée dauphinois and the Museum of Resistance and Deportation present regional history, complemented by cultural facilities such as the MC2 cultural center and Le Magasin des horizons.
