[email protected] Grenoble Press Kit Welcome to Grenoble… …mountains of Culture! Grenoble is located in the southeast of France, in a strategic location at the crossroads between Northern and Southern Europe, and is one of the main cities of the Rhone-Alps region. Nestled at the heart of three Alpine ranges (Belledonne, Chartreuse and Vercors), Grenoble is France's flattest city, which culminates at only 212 meters in altitude! With a particularly dense and diverse architectural heritage, Grenoble, which exists for more than 2000 years, offers visitors a charming stroll through winding streets and lively squares where ancient Gallo-roman sites stand neighbour to innovative sustainable development constructions. Take a seat on one of the terraces of the pedestrian streets or on a paved square of the old city, and watch the city come to life: the students cycle, coming from all over the world and speaking all languages, families strolling through the streets, markets, concerts, festivals...Energy radiates through the city of Grenoble! In Grenoble, it’s easy to let your curiosity get the best of you. You’ll be tempted to discover exceptional cultural sites like the Grenoble Art Museum, the National Contemporary Art Centre (Le Magasin-CNAC)…or one of the twenty museums of the city! And if you want to enjoy local food, Grenoble has also an exceptional culinary heritage, coming from the grounds and people that fashioned the city and its surrounding region through centuries: potato gratin, crozet pasta, bugnes beignets, ravioles, and caillettes have stood the test of time and remain favorites even today.
