A report on a meal, a museum, a snowday and a hike. An explanation to come soon also.

The first few photos are of the Grenoble WW2 museum.  The museum details the lives of the Grenoble inhabitants during their occupation by the Nazi's and Italian's.

The last few photos were taken just before the first snowfall while on a hiking trip.  

Then it snowed later in the week (2 weeks before the date of publication on this blog).  The snow did not stick.


The cafeteria is only open for two and a half hours a day.  But the food is really good when you do eat it.


Nazi poster encouraging French men to work in armament factories in Germany, "You're family will be happy".

The announcement posted in Grenoble to inform the inhabitants that the city is free from Nazi occupation.

Leaving the museum, the Préfecture de l'Isère is just ahead.

Place Victor Hugo, typical Wednesday afternoon.
