The authors introduce the notions of differentiable groupoids and differentiable stratified groupoids, generalizations of Lie groupoids in which the spaces of objects and arrows have the structures of differentiable spaces, respectively differentiable stratified spaces, compatible with the groupoid structure. After studying basic properties of these groupoids including Morita equivalence, the authors prove a de Rham theorem for proper locally contractible differentiable stratified groupoids. The authors then focus on the study of the inertia groupoid associated to a proper Lie groupoid and show that the loop and the inertia space of a proper Lie groupoid can be endowed with a natural Whitney (b)-regular stratification, which is called the orbit Cartan type stratification. Endowed with this stratification, the inertia groupoid of a proper Lie groupoid becomes a locally contractible differentiable stratified groupoid.
