Fontaine

Fontaine has served as an industrial town in the Grenoble basin since the 19th century. Set on the left bank of the Drac, it forms part of the densely settled valley between Grenoble and the foothills of the Vercors massif. The commune grew with factories and workers’ housing as Grenoble expanded westward, while the Château de la Poya recalls an earlier rural estate on its outskirts. Today, tram connections place Fontaine within Grenoble’s urban network, with the sharp Alpine relief always close by.
