A confirmed experience
A centre dedicated to exchanges and encounters since 1896
Our centre has been delivering high-quality and innovative teaching ever since it was set up under the auspices of the Committee of Patronage for Foreign Students, becoming the University Centre for French Studies (the CUEF) of Stendhal University (Grenoble 3) in 1974.
