Grenoble-Alpes painting

Grenoble-Alpes Métropole is located in a valley in the heart of the Alps, and two rivers intersect within its borders. The low-lying topography gives this mountain city a flat terrain that is suitable for wandering along streets dotted with ancient buildings. However, the low-lying topography also means that Grenoble is prone to flooding. The painting in the image is called “Grenoble (Isère), avant l'inondation de 1651,” and the artist is Alexandre Debelle. It depicts Grenoble before the flood of 1651.
