Wikitravel spotlight: Grenoble

I like this travel wiki. I especially like how sensibly it's laid out: Get In, Get Around, See, Do, Learn, Buy, Eat, Drink, Sleep, Stay Safe, Get Out. It's fantastic, everything you would need to know. I was in Grenoble for three months last year and it mentioned great places I had frequented. La Table Ronde (the second to oldest cafe in France) La Fondue (the best fondue place I've ever been) and the shops at la place Victor Hugo (where you find tons of awesome boutiques to shop at). Obviously more can be said about the city, but giving it all away would rob it of its charm, disallow discovery, and direct unnecessary attention to hole-in-the-wall places. As an overview it was very excellent. Even in the "Stay Safe" portion it mentions a bad part of town. There was another to the north that I was told to stay out of, but I can't remember its exact location, nor its name, so I would not amend this wiki.
