Geography.

CHAMP-SUR-DRAC, the countryside with the doors of the city.

Located on the road which connected France to Italy with the confluence of the two rivers " Drac and Romanche " with 13km in the south of Grenoble, 3km of Vizille, the city has a surface of 892 hectares of which a third is in the zone of Drac, and a second third on the mountain of Connex and the Slopes, these two zones not being urbanisables.

The essence of the urbanization and industrialization is thus in the low part and power station of the city.

These various sectors thus have different altitudes: 269 meters for the Plain, 319 m for Combe, and 1281 m for the high part in the Related one.

The industrial life of the city was very important, (village more industrialized for its time after Grenoble in the province of Dauphine), but with XVIIIe and XIXe centuries, some of its industries disappeared (in 1983, more precisely).

Except for the chalk pits of Combe whose origin goes back to the XVIIIe century, the industrial activity truly began only in 1891 with construction from the electric exchange " Fures and Morges". This power station, one of largest of France at the time, then allowed the establishment into 1901 of a cardboard factory-papetrie (Papetrie NAVARRE) and several artisanal companies installed the " Bridge of Champ" , which will mark the beginning of a new era for its community.

The decline 1983, which involved the closing of the cardboard factory-papetrie thereafter will leave a heavy scar in the industrial life chenillarde. Then there was the arrival of an adhesive paper factory in the plain (Avery Dennison, one of the largest Dennison companies in the World) and the progressive development of two artisanal and industrial zones that of the Plain and the Bridge of Field which will make it possible the town of Re-develop out of matters of equipment, employment and urbanistion.
