Musee de la Resistance et de la Deportation de l'Isere

Reviewed By quintint2016 - Richmond, United States

Moving and sobering at the courage of the Maqui who would not submit to surrender or the tyranny of the Nazi occupiers. The exhibits were powerful and I was grateful they had explanations in English. I left the museum with some new historical heroes. Viva La Maqui. Thank you to the museum for it's preservation of this important history to France and the world in my humble opinion.

Parc du Chateau de Vizille

Reviewed By RadiaAttaweel - Saint-Martin-d'Heres, France

J'ai aimé la musée et le parc avec l'aire de jeux. There are many animals like ducks, swans, geese in the river and deers and other animals that are far from the castle and you have to walk for about 35 minutes to get to.

It's all in French and not in any other languages. Set in a picturesque mansion with beautiful grounds, it's a great exhibition with many fantastic art works on display.

Musee de la Grande Chartreuse

The Grande Chartreuse, founded by St Bruno in 1084, is a major destination in the Alps. Located in an annexe of the Monastery, the Museum is an insight into their Great Silence and the way of life of these monks. Come and experiment their faith, and try to unravel the mystery of their 900 year history, thanks to this truly monastic setting complete with historical illustrations, artefacts and models of Carthusian monasteries.

Reviewed By Khowaga - Austin, United States

I visited the Museum on a Saturday as a day trip from Geneva (I also went to the Chatreuse distillery in Voiron, had lunch in Grenoble, and stopped in Chambery on the way back). This was the unexpected highlight of the day. The Museum explains the life of the Cartesian order (the brothers live in another monastery about 2 km away that you cannot visit) in a way that is clearly accessible to visitors regardless of their familiarity with religious doctrine and ritual. The audio tour was available in English (I can read French, but I don't really understand spoken French). Do as the monks and nuns of the order do and give yourself some time to contemplate the museum and its setting in silence - you won't regret it.
