Rue Saint-Laurent, Historic street in Grenoble, France
The narrow Rue Saint-Laurent stretches for 400 meters along the Quai Xavier Jouvin, connecting multiple heritage sites in central Grenoble.
During the 16th century, the street housed the city's Mint at number 97, which remained operational until 1732, influencing local economic development.
The street represents the core of Italian immigration heritage in Grenoble, with traditional houses reflecting Mediterranean architectural influences.
Visitors can access the Bastille Fort by taking the stairs from Rue Saint-Laurent through the Saint-Laurent Church entrance.
This street maintains the distinction of being the only naturally sloped road within the entire city of Grenoble.
