Tour Prémol stands in Grenoble (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the Olympic village district of Grenoble stands a square brick tower, the remaining trace of a medieval fortified house dated to 1350. Well preserved over the centuries, it carried different names, first tied to the Vaulnaveys family, then to nuns from the Chartreuse de Prémol, who gave it its current name. The building now belongs to the city and houses a childcare facility.
