Nice circular walk around the nature reserve, very peaceful and scenic. Apparently there are beavers but we didn’t see them, did see lots of lizards though. Stone viewing tower at lakeside gives a nice view of lake.

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.

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.

We loved this little museum in Grenoble. Entrance is free, and they give you a great audioguide, also for free. The interpretation is very well done, the site is very well maintained and it was really interesting to walk around the excavations and see the different historic periods at the same time. My 5 year old had a blast there as well. It is very child friendly. They gave my son a map with images and throughout our walk-thought we had to find all these special objects or markers. He loved it! And the staff was really nice and welcoming as well. Highly recommend it if you have a sejour in Grenoble.
