Fontanil-Cornillon, Commune in Saint-Égrève canton, France
Fontanil-Cornillon is a village in the Saint-Égrève canton southeast of Grenoble in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The community sits on gently rolling terrain dotted with homes, green spaces, and agricultural areas.
The village formed from the merger of two historical settlements, Fontanil and Cornillon, which gradually developed into a modern municipality. The area experienced growth during the 20th century due to its proximity to the city of Grenoble.
The municipality maintains active international connections through established partnerships with Monte Roberto in Italy, Ponchatoula in the United States, and Saint-Joseph-du-Lac in Canada.
The village benefits from good transport connections to Grenoble and surrounding towns, making travel convenient for residents and visitors. Local services include schools, shops, and community facilities scattered throughout the area.
The terrain displays significant elevation changes, with points ranging from lower to much higher zones within the territory. This varied topography creates different landscape types and habitats across a relatively small area.
