Grenoble Mayor Michel Destot said Monday that he wants the French city to launch a bid for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.
Grenoble hosted the 1968 Olympics.
The Mayor said that a survey showed 75 per cent of Grenoble residents approved of the city bidding for the 2018 Winter Games.
He said, “it’s an event that can mobilize all the elected people and mayors no matter their political persuasion”.
