GRENOBLE, France — Grenoble Mayor Éric Piolle was the first environmentalist to lead a major French city, and this year his Alpine town has been named a European green capital. By the end of the year Grenoble will meet all its electricity needs with renewable energy.
But no one's talking about that, he says. Rather, Piolle is being assailed for allowing the burkini in his town's public pools.
