Chateau de Vizille is one of the most prestigious castles of Dauphiné region of France. It is situated a few kilometers away from Grenoble, and was build by Francoise de Bonne at the beginning of 17th century. In the 18th century was used as a meeting point for the architects of the French Revolution, this being the reason why today it hosts the Museum of French Revolution.
