Traditionally known as cosmopolitan and open-minded, Grenoble has a unique setting, with an exceptional natural and sport environment.
The city is close to natural wildlife reserves (Chartreuse and Vercors) and around thirty ski resorts (Chamrousse, Alpe d'Huez, Deux-Alpes...). A cultural hotbed would be the best way to describe Grenoble, with the outstanding Maison de la Culture which hosts the National Dance and Theater Center, or the Magasin, a national center for contemporary art.
