Extended France trip 19-Jul-2010 At 4:38:44 PM trog

Anywhere near the Alps or Pyrenees is should be gold from a climbing point of view.

I don't know france that well, having been more on short trips, but I've always thought somewhere like Grenoble would be an awesome spot to live for a while. It's not a resort town if you want to do snow season work though... It's surrounded by 3 massive plateaus, the Vercors, the chartreuse and the other one I can't remember near by, chock full of limestone - lots of climbing and caving (over 1 km deep). And it's close to proper mountains - kind of between Mt Blanc and the Ecrins (La grave is just down the road if you want water ice)...

Limited trad shouldn't be a problem until you get right up into the mountains. most rock in france seems to exists solely for the purpose of bolting

work... I've got no idea
