Back to the boulangerie and other various adventures

Since getting back from winter break, I have started normal university classes at Université de Pierre-Mendès-France in sociology, history, and also a grammar class. The weather has been pretty nice lately; perfect for exploring the beautiful area around Grenoble, which is exactly what I did!

At my favorite boulangerie in Grenoble: 0,95 € for a fresh, warm, and delicious baguette!

Historic square in an older district of Grenoble

First Sunday hike: to a little town in the Belledonne mountain chain just south of Grenoble.

Winding road going up to town

Blue sky and French countryside

Door to the little church in town

Massif Chartreuse north of Grenoble

Second Sunday hike: to a fort at the top of one of the mountains in the Massif Chartreuse!

On the way up: some not so cheap housing

Fountain: all French towns have them

Café part of the way up

Trees and sunshine, two of my favorite things!

Mountains in the distance

Tinsy town on the other side of the mountain

Grenoble, a view a bit higher than the bastille

A step from the abyss
Springtime! It's coming...

 The alps are beautiful!
