Grenoble is a dynamic university city of 500,000 habitants in the south-east of France. It is within easy reach of Paris (3 hours by TGV high-speed train and less than an hour by plane), Switzerland and Italy. Grenoble is one of France's foremost international cities. Nestled in the French Alps, it was the host for the 1968 Winter Olympics. More than 60,000 students and 8,000 researchers along with companies such as Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard, Rhône-Poulenc and Schneider Electric show that Grenoble is a booming city where technology and education play a major role. The weather in Grenoble varies enormously. We suggest you pack a broad selection of clothing from thick woolly pullovers to T-shirts and shorts. The winters can be icy cold and the height of summer is almost unbearably hot. And, whatever you do, do not forget your umbrella!
