Yesss so, we did visit Grenoble, firstly an old military fort which is now used as a tourist attraction and impressive lookout. The centre of the city seemed to be characterised by piazza after parc, parc after piazza, all contoured by cafes. Quite laid back.
In the evening we felt like trying some Savoyard dishes tipical to our area. Dad ordered a classic 3cheese fondu, I had a Tartiflette (warm dish with lots of melted cheese, potato chips, onions and bacon pieces) in order to try something new, and Mum tried the exotic 'bird' dish from the menu. Not being blown off her face by the taste of this, she asked the waitress what bird she had eaten. 'Chiken, madame', was the answer! Small world after all..
Firday 29th
Aujourd'hui we visited Axe le Bains, only about 20 mins from here. There are thermes from the Roman times in this city, but I think none of us were old and crimply enough to need their services. After a walk around the centre ville, we had lunch at a pretty lake, then headed home as it was time to meet Mme Andre'!
