One of my favourite things about being in France definitely has to be how cheap a nice bottle of wine is, as well as how often they have a "petit apéro". I love a petit apéro with friends, although it's true that sometimes it ends up being not so petit...
Anyway staying on the subject of wine, I went out with a friend on Tuesday night to a small bar in the city centre. This bar was pretty small and had an intimate atmosphere: a place you go to meet, chat and have a drink with friends and possibly to dance a little. But the best thing about it was that it's basically a wine bar, where they have a wide range of different flavours of wine - from blueberry, to salted caramel, to spiced mango, and many others. I only tried the spiced mango flavour, which was pretty good, so I definitely plan on going back to try some of the others.
But for me, the weirdest thing about it was walking into the bar. The atmosphere was pretty intense as soon as you walked in and it was filled with young people. There's a lot of young people in Grenoble, but everywhere you go you always seem to come across a variety of ages, and normally older people. Even when I went to Nox (a nightclub here in Grenoble), there were quite a few older people or just generally weirdos. Yet in this bar there were only normal, young people. It was great and it was what really made the atmosphere. Got to meet some of Antoine's friends too and it was so good to be out with such a good group of people. And despite it being a Tuesday night, I managed to get up for work without too much trouble the next morning. I don't think some of the others managed so easily though, especially the few who apparently ran around Grenoble, at like 3 in the morning, totally naked. Hmm, great idea... or not.
A bientôt,
Robyn
