Grenoble, France



This is a view of the old city part of Grenoble, the city where I was born in France. Grenoble is surrounded by mountains: to the north the Chartreuse (from which the liquor made by the Chartreux Monks took its name), to the west the Vercors (the heartland of the Résistance during WWII), and to the east Belledone. Grenoble is known as the "Capital of the Alps". It's a great and modern city with a lot of nano-science research and related activities and a huge University. If you want to go to France that's the place to visit !
