History
Saint-Chef is one of the largest communes in the north-west of Isère, with more than 3,000 inhabitants spread over 2,716 hectares.
The village developed around a monastery founded in the sixth century, in a valley formerly called Rupian Valley, nowadays known as the valley Rupéenne. This religious community was one of the most powerful in France before the decline in 1744.
