Grenoble is a pleasent city city to live in because of the geographical context. Montain and Natural activity are realy nearby.

No it is not, you just have to do it preferencialy from April to August and be aware of the french system It will save you a lot of time. In knowing that you have a minimal period of one month deposit before leaving the flat, according your agency if not the one month is the legal period in order to have no problem with french law in case your land lord is not that kind. But this kind of case is rare. and when you invest for the first time your flat an ammount of money is neede "caution".
