Bicycles: At the Heart of Campus Life
With more than 450 km of safe bike paths, the Grenoble metropolitan area boasts one of the densest and most extensive networks in France. It’s the ideal setting for adopting eco-friendly, practical, and sustainable modes of transportation in everyday life. Whether by bike, scooter, or on foot, everything is designed to simplify trips between campuses, residential areas, and study spaces, while contributing to transportation that’s better for the environment… and your well-being.
