Grenoble

Two rivers come together here, and the city sits at the bottom of a valley surrounded by mountains. 

The first thing to do is take the cable car bubbles to the top. At the next table they had ordered an enormous drink. 

This shows the date of when the Winter Olympics were in Grenoble. 

People were doing the bungee jumping thing here. 

Finally it rained and hailed for an hour or so. 

In order to find the museum devoted to Stendahl it is necessary to consult the

Lingerie shop next door because the musee starts on the third floor.  

Stendahl was highly connected. He knew Napoleon, etc. He was definitely at the seat of power. 

The rain was such a life saver for everyone.  

It seems to be a well run city. Below is a photo of the bubble cars that go to the top.
