Grenoble?? My brother lived there when he was doing his PhD (Doctorat) and he LOVED it! He now lives in Paris but he always say how he misses Grenoble. But well, that's my brother's opinion.

I'm pretty sure the woman scares us. I obtain a 2 weeks temporary place inside Grenoble to roam around and discover.

I don't think Grenoble is the scary part as much as starting a new job and moving to a whole new place where you probably know nobody. But as long as you are not alone (your wife is with you), you are gonna be fine.

I have lived in Montpellier for 1 year when I was doing "Master". I loved it. France is a beautiful country. Just relax and embrace this experience.

Also, from my life, I have learned that the first 2 weeks (exactly 2 weeks) of every big transition, such as moving to a new place, it is gonna be weird and hard. After 2 weeks, you will get used to it.

I have lived in Montpellier for 5 year doing first master. It's nice city. I think you are right about the first 2 weeks. Well my wife just found two opportunities this morning, if she can get a job, I suppose it's a different story.
