Telepherique Part I: The Good Trip

As long as I'm posting pictures, here are two from my first (and much more pleasant) trip up the telepherique cable car system. This picture is of the "zone pieton," the pedestrian zone of downtown Grenoble where cars are forbidden. It's definitely my favorite part of the city; it's very vibrant and always bustling.


Here's a view from inside the cable car, looking slightly southwest over the city. Those two main avenues, from left to right, are Boulevards Gambetta and Jean Jaures. In the picture you can barely distinguish the omnipresent mountains; the city's smog and cloud cover contribute to the poor visibility.
