Place aux Herbes

Place aux Herbes features a covered market structure from the late 19th century where vendors sell fresh produce and local specialties every morning except Mondays.

Previously known as Place du Mal-Conseil, this square served as a gathering place for citizens to discuss municipal affairs during the Middle Ages until the 17th century.

The square maintains its traditional function as a marketplace where regional producers offer their goods every Friday afternoon, connecting residents with local food heritage.

Visitors can reach the square via tramway lines A and B, getting off at the Hubert Dubedout stop, with the location open year-round without entrance fees.

The square was the site of public executions until the 1600s, marking its role as a center of civil administration and justice in medieval Grenoble.
