Today, we decided to chill a bit in Grenoble and explore a bit more. Grenoble is a pretty small city but a very nice town with lots of history.
After spending several hours in town, we headed back to relax before having dinner with our exceedingly gracious host, Dr. Christophe Moreau, and his beautiful family.
Christophe lives in a village on one of the mountains surrounding Grenoble. It’s really difficult to begin to explain how beautiful and serene this little mountain hamlet is – there’s just no way to do it justice.
It is immediately adjacent to the site of the ski jump from the 1968 Olympic Games that were held around Grenoble.
Christophe, his wife Katarin (I’m sure I misspelled this) and two lovely children were the most wonderful of hosts and we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to spend a little time with them.
I hope that one day I am able to return the favor!
