Intensive French in Grenoble: Overview

Spend a semester surrounded by the crystal-clear air and snow-capped mountains of the French Alps. Built on the banks of two alpine rivers, Grenoble boasts medieval buildings and cobbled streets which give a romantic air to the older part of town, while museums, theaters, cultural festivals, cafés and bistros explain why it is the leading city of the region.
