Part of the Grenoble urban unit , it is the second-largest suburb of the city of Grenoble, which is immediately to its north.A former industrial village had the majority of its inhabitants work in the viscose factories, a fabric that was invented in Échirolles in 1884 by the French scientist and industrial Hilaire de Chardonnet, before becoming universally famous.
