28x11 - Reviving roots in Grenoble, France

November 26, 2011

Nathalie and Ben met in college and soon discovered common ground: both have French parents and shared a similar childhood of mixed heritage. After having daughter Elyse, they decided it was time to leave the monotony of Manchester, England behind to share their French roots with their new baby. They settled on the city of Grenoble at the base of the French Alps, where Ben can take advantage of the outdoors and Nathalie can stay busy in the city. But once they set foot in the mountains, those same qualities that made them choose Grenoble quickly causes discord. She wants to live right in the city, but Ben would rather live further out in nature. It's up to real estate agent Luc Grange to find a home these two can agree on. And he must do it for under ,000 in one of France's most expensive areas.
