La Mure, Administrative commune in Isère, France
La Mure is a commune in the Isère department of southeastern France. It sits at roughly 886 meters elevation in a mountainous region near the Alps, with buildings scattered across a landscape of forests and valleys.
The commune emerged as an administrative center in the Matheysine region with deep roots in local governance. Administrative reorganization in 2015 reshaped its role within the broader territorial structure.
The area maintains administrative functions that support nineteen different communes, including Cholonge, Cognet, and Saint-Honoré within the Matheysine region.
The area is reachable by local roads that wind through the mountainous landscape. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions typical of high-altitude regions.
The area contains significant coal deposits with anthracite-bearing rock formations beneath the surface. These geological features shaped local economic activity in earlier times and remain visible in the land's character.
