Grenoble Tourist Traps

One thing that always catches me out in France and especially in Grenoble is the "Lazy Sunday"

There are no food shops open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are one or 2 exceptions but these close at midday!

Fun Alternatives: One alternative is get yourself to the great food markets on Sunday.

The "Marche d"estacade" is fab - with lots of local farmers selling fresh products.

This market is under the railway tacks between the train station and Jean Jaures.

Vous arrivez dans une ville, Grenoble, totalement inconnue, vous ne savez pas où loger, et vous ne savez pas ce qui est inetéressant à voir. Vous n'avez aucun plan de la ville (Bref, vous ne vous êtes jamais connecté sur VT !).

You arrive in a city, Grenoble, completely unknown, you don't know where to lodge, and you don't know what is interesting to see. You don't have any plan of the city (Brief, you never connected yourselves on VT!).

Valfréjus is a rather cheap skiing-resort. The prices for food and drinks on the pistes are quite the opposite! A cup of tea costs you FF 20 (3 US$), a plate of french fries with saucages more than twice that price.
It's better to buy something in the (only) grocery-store in the village, and take that with you in a small back-pack.
