Grenoble

Grenoble was a rest stop for the members of the Tour de France, for me a chance to get ahead of them, which I did at Moutiers |
 |
A pleasant university town with a correspondingly young population |
 |
 |
It is also a vacation destination for the French and probably international visitors. There is the obligatory fortress and a cable car to get there |
 |
With the Tour de France in town, there was definitely bicycling in the air |
 |
 |
After a coffee stop I made my way to the city center and found a Tour de France convention in the large building on the right |
 |
There, nibbling on cheeses and sipping wine, I chatted with this tough French girl. She followed the Tour de France, on her bicycle. Amazing woman. |
 |
There was a little Medieval church |
 |
with an interestingly decorated facade |
 |
And a small gaggle of French teenagers, just to round out the Grenoble experience - life is good |
