We were disappointed to see that there was no material in English at all. In an internationally touristic town like Grenoble one expects to have at least some brochures in English.

I liked the chapel of former monastery as well as gardens. There are plenty of permanent and temporary exhibitions about life and culture of this region. Visit is free!
