Cold Grounds
The cold Grounds extend, in the Département of Isere, the Large-Lemps with Bourgoin-Jallieu, in a loop formed by the Bourbre, affluent of the the Rhone. They form a watershed between the Isere in the south and the the Rhone in north and the west.
It is called also " country of the collines". The Moraine S of the glaciers of the quaternary time gave has this part in the North-West of the department of Isere a country of corrugated hills called Cold Grounds and Low Grounds.
This area of the Bas-Dauphiné is characterized by a more rigorous climate the winter, coming owing to the fact that the ground Argile uses, impermeable, always impregnated from water is slow to warm up. Elsewhere, morainic sands give a drier ground.
This soil is a cultural entity typified enough, particularly visible through its habitat with the eyes of those which traverse it; the traditional houses are built out of ground Argile uses called Pisé. The roofs very sloping and are covered with tiles scales, and generally of rather impressive size.
