Grenoble
The beautiful university town of Grenoble is situated on the
Drac and Isère Rivers, and is surrounded by proud mountains,
dramatic gorges and hidden valleys. The prosperous, lively and
cosmopolitan city is a base for companies involved in the chemical,
nuclear research and electronics industries, but more obviously to
visitors it is home to 40,000 students, many international. There
are some excellent walks among the mountains surrounding the city
and there are ski slopes within easy driving distance, but for many
tourists Grenoble is simply a stopover before heading further into
the Alps. Before you go, however, take a scenic ride on the
distinctive egg-shaped suspended cable cars known as 'Les
Bulles'.
