Paul Mistral

Grenoble, France

Paul Mistral

is a big park in the center of the city. It includes a roller skating rink and people often play street hockey. The park also boasts extensive lawns and quiet tree-lined avenues. At the center stands the tower Perret, built in 1925 for an international exposition about water-power. When illuminated

at night with blue lights, it bears a considerable resemblance to both Dr. Who's sonic screwdriver and the Tower of Mordor. For at least 40 years, it has been impossible to go up due to safety problems.
