La Côte-Saint-André (4,806 inhabitants in 2021; 2,793 ha) is a commune in the Isère department. La Côte-Saint-André was the seat of the Communauté de communes de of Bièvre-Liers until December 2013. It belongs since 2014 to the Communauté de communes de Bièvre-Isère (seat in Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs). The small town, nestled on the side of a hill, has an old center with very narrow streets with many buildings with typical 11th, 16th and 19th century architecture, some of which are listed as historical monuments.
The protohistoric period is known through the discovery in 1888 in a tumulus at a place called Rival of a remarkable cult chariot, composed of four solid bronze wheels from the late Bronze Age (8th century BC) reused in the First Iron Age (7th century BC) with a large bucket and a basin in bronze sheet from Northern Italy. It is now on display at the Gallo-Roman Museum of Fourvière in Lyon. At the beginning of Antiquity, this region was part of the territory of the Allobroges. At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the city of La Côte was attached to the County of Vienne, stronghold of the Kingdom of Burgundy.
Every year, the Berlioz Festival takes place at the Louis XI castle; the French Romantic composer and conductor Hector Berlioz was born in La Côte-Saint-André.

The flag of the commune was white with the logo of the commune before 2017 (photo). I have not spotted yet any flag with the current logo.
