GRENOBLE

We would not have thought of going to Grenoble were it not for our Basque friend Usoa, who was temporarily working in the region and asking us to visit. We took the last of the EasyJet flights of the season, to find ourselves basking in temperatures of 26c while watching skiers on the snow capped 2000m mountains surrounding the town. A stone's throw from Italy and Switzerland, Grenoble is an old town lively with young people and good public transport !
