Vif, Commune in Isère, France
Vif is a commune in southeastern France within the Isère department, located about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south of Grenoble at the edge of the Vercors mountains.
The Vicat company established the first cement factory in Vif in 1857, marking the beginning of industrial development that transformed the town's traditional economy.
The Champollion Museum in Vif celebrates the life and work of Jean-François Champollion, who deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs in the early nineteenth century.
Vif is connected to Grenoble and other regions via the Line of Alps railway, which crosses the town on the historic Crozet viaduct.
The town hall of Vif was once an ancient monastery that later served as a silk mill managed by the Berriat family during the nineteenth century.
