A Walk Around the Beautiful City of Grenoble, France
Grenoble is a city in southeastern France, at the foot of the French Alps where the river Drac joins the Isère. Located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Grenoble is the capital of the department of Isère and is an important European scientific centre. The city advertises itself as the Capital of the Alps, due to its size and its proximity to the mountains.
Grenoble's history goes back over 2,000 years, to a time when it was a small Gallic village. It became the capital of the Dauphiné in the 11th century.
Industrial development increased the prominence of Grenoble through several periods of economic expansion over the last three centuries. This started with a booming glove industry in the 18th and 19th centuries, continued with the development of a strong hydropower industry in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, and ended with a post-World War II economic boom symbolized by the holding of the X Olympic Winter Games in 1968. The city has grown to be one of Europe's most important research, technology, and innovation centers, with each fifth inhabitant working directly in these domains.
The population of the city of Grenoble was 158,180 at the 2016 census, while the population of the Grenoble metropolitan area (French: aire urbaine de Grenoble or agglomération grenobloise) was 687,985. The residents of the city are called Grenoblois.
The many suburb communes that make up the rest of the metropolitan area include three with populations exceeding 20,000: Saint-Martin-d'Hères, Échirolles, and Fontaine.

A Walk Around the River Isere in Grenoble, France
The Isère is a river in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. Its source, a glacier known as the Sources de l'Isère, lies in the Vanoise National Park in the Graian Alps of Savoie, near the ski resort Val d'Isère on the border with Italy. An important left-bank tributary of the Rhône, the Isère merges with it a few kilometers north of Valence.
Many riverside communes have incorporated the Isère's name into their own, for example, Sainte-Hélène-sur-Isère and Romans-sur-Isère. The department of Isère is likewise named after the river.

Raconte pas ta life n°2//
Le mercredi 8 juillet 1970, nous venons de Voiron en car, avec mon père, pour voir passer le Tour de France sur le Pont de la Citadelle.
Au retour, devant l'hôtel de l'Europe, sont rangés les vélos de l'équipe Molteni, la formation d'Eddy Merckx, qui a triomphé avec plusieurs minutes d'avance sur la piste en ciment du vélodrome de la ville. Mon père entre dans l'établissement et obtient un autographe du grand Martin Van den Bossch, -un géant- et l'équipier favori de Merckx. Il m'offre le précieux bout de papier. C'est là le seul souvenir heureux que j'ai de mon père, je crois. Il n'a guère vécu, et, ce si peu de temps, nous ne nous sommes jamais accordés, en rien. C'est aussi ce jour-là qu'est né, je le sais, mon livre Tombeau pour Luis Ocaña, paru au mois de juin dernier.
