Meylan

Among the cities of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Meylan stands out for its position between the Isère River and the lower slopes of the Chartreuse massif. Part of Grenoble-Alpes Métropole, it occupies the northeastern side of the Grenoble basin, where the valley opens towards the Grésivaudan. The Saint-Eynard ridge is a defining presence above the town, while the Belledonne range rises across the Isère. Meylan’s older centre includes the Romanesque church of Saint-Victor, a reminder that this now suburban municipality predates the modern Grenoble conurbation. Its setting connects daily urban life with the mountain geography of the French Alps. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Meylan and the Grenoble area.
