Picture taken in a beautiful flower shop Quai Perrière called Fleurs de Lumière.This shop is a little bit unusual because it's shared by two different people : the first one is a florist and the other one is a furniture restorer (not sure whether I can say that ).
Here is another rock'n'roll band from Grenoble. They played last week on the venue - well, I'm not sure we can really call that a proper venue, but nevermind - named EVE.The band is called General Cluster.
Turn your eyes toward the sky while wandering around Grenoble and you'll find treasures like these sculptures on the front of a building on Docteur Mazet St....well and you'll sure look a bit dumb too walking like this, staring at the sky!
I'm really sorry for the delay in my posting but I was in Paris and didn't have access to the Internet on the last two days. But here I am, in Grenoble again!Désolée pour le retard dans les posts mais j'étais à Paris ces deux derniers jours et je n'avais pas accès au net malheureusement. Mais me voilà de retour à Grenoble !

No, I not getting married yet! I've just had to visit the shop of a wedding dresses designer for my work last week ;-)As I've found her dresses absolutely gorgeous and as she was highly likable and nice I've decided to make a post about her creations!
She is called Patricia Bayle and her shop can be found on 7, Boulevard Gambetta.
Non non, je ne me marie pas encore ! Je me suis juste rendue dans la boutique d'une créatrice de robes de mariée la semaine dernière pour mon boulot ;-)
Et comme j'ai trouvé ses créations vraiment superbes et qu'elle était fort sympathique, j'ai décidé de faire un post à son sujet !
Sa boutique s'appelle Patricia Bayle Mariages et se trouve au 7 Boulevard Gambetta.
As I've seen that some of you didn't konw that the walnuts were a symbol of Grenoble I've decided to tell you a bit more about that in my post today.
First of all: was is an AOC (in French: Appellation d'Origine Controlée)?
Here in France, some products must come from a certain area and must be produced in a certain way in order to have the genuine name of the product (some famous exemples could be Champagne or Roquefort cheese).
Some european equivalents to french AOC are :
Grenoble walnuts have had the label AOC since 1938 (June, 17th to be sharply exact!)
