The building behind yesterday's flags.
Le bâtiment derrière les drapeaux d'hier.
Here is what you can see if you're arriving to Grenoble by road from Lyon.
La 1 ere chose que vous verrez en arrivant à Grenoble depuis Lyon, ce sont ces drapeaux, bien en vue à l'entrée de la ville.
In the gothic house, I befriended with this lovely little cat.
Mon nouvel ami, rencontré lors de ma visite à la maison gothique.
Apparently, the inside gallery on the courtyard of the gothic house has been rebuilt during the 17th century.
Apparemment, la galerie intérieure donnant sur la cour de la maison gothique date du 17e siècle.
Here is the entrance of a gothic mansion, on Chenoise Street. It's been build on the Middle-Ages. Once you're inside this little allez, you feel very far from the city around. It's just so quiet!
Entrée d'une maison de style gothique dnas le rue Chenoise. Elle date du Moyen-Age. Une fois engagé dans cette petite allée, la ville semble bien loin. C'est tellement calme !
This is a photo from an old band from Grenoble. They were called Insight MHC but unfortunatly, they've decided to stop playing music together about one year ago.But there is a particular reason for me posting this picture now... tada ! My brand new music photography website is now up and running. Have a look at it if you dare! It's here : Nevermind The Name!
Une petite photo du groupe Grenoblois Insight MHC. Malheureusement, ils ont splittés il y a environ un an de cela.
Mais j'ai une bonne raison de poster cette photo maintenant... La nouvelle version de mon site de photos de concerts est en ligne. Cliquez par là si vous l'osez : Nevermind The Name!
...for creating a new world.
This is a work of art by Alberte Petinot, on Chenoise Street.
Oeuvre d'Alberte Petinot, dans la rue Chenoise.
Boys don't cry. Apparently, the Cure inspired some people... well, I'm not really sure that this is a success!
Le groupe The Cure est apparemment une source d'inspiration pour certains... cependant je ne suis pas tout à fait sûre que ça soit une réussite...
A little collage to begin this new week. Door handles, door latchs, iron gates, hinges... found only in Quai Perrière!
Un petit montage pour débuter cette nouvelle semaine. Poignées, loquets, grilles et gonds... tous trouvés sur le Quai Perrière.
Second stop : la Pena Andaluza (rue du Palais). It's just by the old court of justice.
Well, I've never been there so I can't tell you much about this restaurant.
PS : look carefully and you'll see a pigeon!
Deuxième arrêt : la Pena Andaluza (rue du Palais), juste ne face de l'ancien palais de justice. Je n'y ai jamais mangé donc je ne peux pas vous en dire beaucoup plus au sujet de ce restaurant. PS : si vous regardez attentivement, vous devriez voir un pigeon !!
Welcome to spanish Grenoble! A mandatory stop in this tour is the Cafe Serrano, rue des Clercs, where you can eat good tapas while drinking sangria!
Bienvenue dans le Grenoble espagnol ! Le Café Serrano, rue des Clercs, est une halte obligatoire dans ce parcours. Vous pourrez y déguster de bons tapas tout en buvant une petite sangria.
One oy my favourite cinemas in Grenoble : Le Club. It's a small and friendly cinema where you can see movies in orginal version. It is located rue du Phalanstère. For those who are curious, the movie I went to see was "A Very British gangster" (documentary about Dominic Noonan, famous gangster from Manchester, UK). Excellent movie.
L'un de mes cinémas favoris à Grenoble : Le Club (rue du Phalanstère). C'est un petit cinéma très chaleureux qui passe encore les films en VO. Pour les curieux, je suis allé voir le film "A very British gangster" (c'est un documentaire sur Dominic Noonan, l'un des parrains de la pègre de Manchester). Très bon film.
On the bank of the Isère here is what you can find. Sometimes.
Voilà ce que l'on peut trouver sur le rives de l'Isère. De temps en temps...
Yes, great news for me my friends: free parking from August 6 to August 18! That's not a long period of time but that's better than nothing as it's really expensive to park your car in Grenoble! But I guess it's the same everywhere...
Oui, voilà une très bonne nouvelle pour moi : le stationnement est gratuit entre le 6 et le 18 août ! Même si ça n'est pas très long, c'est déjà mieux que rien parce que c'est vraiment très cher de pouvoir garer sa voiture à Grenoble. Mais je pense que c'est le cas un peu partout...
PS : some people suggested me to post in both English and French. So I'll try to do so from now on.
PS : suite à plusieurs demandes, je vais désormais tenter de transformer mon blog en blog bilingue ! Dès aujourd'hui vous trouverez normalement les textes en en anglais ET en français, oui oui !

I'm sorry for not having been able to post for the past few days. I didn't have any access to the Internet. But well, I've posted all the photos today, so don't forget to check my previous posts!
And if you want to have a glimpse at my work on the Crest Jazz Festival (which was fabulous), there are two photos on L'Orange qui saigne.
As many other French cities, Grenoble has its little train to take tourists around town!
Do you also have one of these in your city?
I found this sign on the workings in the Paul Mistral's Park where a huge car park has been removed and replaced by grassy area.
But some people don't find this change to their liking!
Someone added a little yellow post-it saying "where are we going to park now?"
Another one worried about the parking problems that are supposed to be brought by the new stadium (located jut next to the Mistral's Park).
And a last one added the term "shitty" to discribe the stadium!
Well, in Grenoble we have a tiny street called Chemin Jésus. Apparently, it inspired comments from a few people.
One added that Jesus "is gay", and pro-choice people posted a sticker saying "Catholics : fascists, the Veil law (about abortion) is 30 years old, but we still have to stay vigilant".
I must say that the "Jesus is gay" statement made me laugh but the sticker saddened me. Pro-life people tend to scare me. I find it unsuitable that today, some people, in the name of archaic religious beliefs, still negate our individual freedom of choice as women.
Their is an infinity of different stories and I think that each one should be considered separately, and by the people involved in it only.
Well, that's my opinion.
This may not be a typical French breakfast, as I'm used to drinking tea instead of our traditional coffee. But you still have the baguette though!
It's also my Mum's birthday today, so I've decided to post a photo for the occasion on my other blog, just here.
