Grenoble: Small city in the mountains -
... I found an amazing museum housing thousands of works of art from ancient Greek and Egyptian artifacts to Picasso, Chagall, and modern day multi-media installations. The Grenoble Museum is HUGE! ...only $5 euro to enter.. and great way to spend the afternoon.
