Mury
''Mury'' (The Walls) was a clandestine Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego, Girl Scouts group organized by young Polish women who were political prisoners in the concentration camp in Ravensbrück.

Saint-Mury-Monteymond
Saint-Mury-Monteymond () is a commune in the Isère department in the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes of France. History In 1882, Aristide Bergès constructed a 1200 hp turbine in the neighbouring hamlet of La Gorge, at the foot of the Peak of Belledonne. Due to the steepness of the slope to the Lac Blanc, source of the river Vors, the first Penstocks were constructed. Because of the work of Aristide Bergès, Saint-Mury-Monteymond became the first village in France illuminated by electrical power.Cécile Gouy-Gilbert, Anne Dalmasso and Michael Jakob ''Alpes électriques''.
