Grenoble, « capital of the Alps », is a medium-sized french metropole (160000 inhabitants) yet very active, located in a mountainous, historically rich region, in the direct vicinity of famous mountain ranges (Chartreuse, Vercors, Belledone). Whether traveling aboard the "bubbles" of the Cable Car, climbing to the summit of Chamechaude, or exploring the galleries of the Sassenage Caves, everything is an opportunity for natural escape and experiences. Grenoble is also the 2nd pole of public research in France, with critical technological industries implanted in the suburb, including the European Synchrotron Radiation facility (ESRF).
