The renovated property of painter Ernest Hébert invites visitors to step into the artist's 19th century world and to discover his work through the presentation of his collections. The Hébert museum of La Tronche is a somewhat unusual museum: sheltered behind walls, this two and a half hectare estate has protected itself from the wears of time. The artist's house has held onto the spirit of the place and the intimate character of a family house. The garden, sometimes hidden in the shadows, still holds onto the artist's memories of Italy. The museum, as soon as it opened in 1979, set a double mission for itself: encourage a better knowledge of 19th century art through the artist's collection and to promote contemporary artists, both aspiring and confirmed. The permanent exhibit halls take the visitor on a journey through Ernest Hébert's long artistic career via his works and those of his friends. They illustrate the academics, whose complexity and importance we are rediscovering today and which sheds light on official art. Between the romanticism of Eugene Delacroix and the symbolism of Gustave Moreau, Hébert paves the way for a deeper understanding of 19th century aesthetic movements. The painter Ernest Hébert (1817-1908), after having studied at l'Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris and winning the Grand Prix of Rome for historic painting, became famous with "La Malaria" which he presented at the 1850 Salon. A flourishing career was set before him and he shared his time between France and Italy, where he served twice as director of the Academy of France in Rome (1867-1873 and 1885-1890). He very soon became a sought-after portraitist for high Parisian society during the Second Empire and Third Republic, where he frequented upper class salons. Hébert keenly expressed the poetry and secrecy of his feminine models, but it was in Italy that he found the most inspiration, preferring to depict rural scenes imprinted with a melancholic realism. He was responsible for the mosaic on the apse of the Pantheon, inaugurated in 1884. The museum Through a chronological and thematic layout, the museum presents Hébert's work plus the paintings and sculptures of his friends and students. His years of study, his life at the Villa Medicis, his stays in Italy, the two terms he spent as a director, and his Parisian career are presented. The recreated studio has been restored to its original function. The numerous drawings included in the collection are presented in rotation, in the drawing room, set up in one of the house's bedrooms (2nd floor). The house The house recreates the atmosphere that the artist knew with its period furniture and souvenirs, including the restored Laetitia Bonaparte salon. The impressive 17th century frescoes, uncovered during renovation work, depict the ancient history of the house. Numerous testimonies from Hébert's mentors—David d'Angers, Delaroche, his friends from the Académie de France in Rome, Gounod, Regnault,--and his patrons—Théophile Gautier or Princess Mathilde—evoke his career as well as illustrating the artististic wealth of the prolific 19th century. The gardens Set aside from urban life, the museum's park, with its shaded alleyways, rippling brooks, and trellises, has held onto the charm of the artist's "secret garden." In 2004, it was recognized as a "Remarkable Garden," an award recently created by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. This label recognizes the garden's quality and charm, whose richness stems as much from its 17th and 18th century origins as from the modifications made by Ernest Hébert and his wife Gabrielle. The juxtaposition of well groomed, Italian style areas with English garden-type landscapes, the antique elements, and the numerous water basins are reminiscent of the Villa Medicis in Rome and make for an original setting, open freely to the public.

Up on Saint Eynard fort, you are overlooking Grenoble, tightly clang on to the bicentennial stones of the military fort. Defying gravity and vertigo, you are in position to challenge Belledonne summits, face to face. You may feel like a reckless warden of this proud sentinel -watching the city nested down in the valley, with winding Isère river. Overlooking Grenoble from the Saint Eynard (1338m), it's like clinging to the two-hundred-year-old stones of this military construction, feet in the air. It's to defy - without feeling dizzy - the snow-capped peaks of the Belledonne mountains in front of you, to feel invincible, guardian of the proud sentinel dominating the city nestled below, and to follow the Isère river coiled within. To feel Corenc, Montbonnot and Meylan small, nestling at the foot of the Chartreuse massif. Ignore the Vercors, a little too far away in the landscape. Finally, in summer and winter alike, soak up the fresh air, stop for a break at the Fort's restaurant, then discover the history of this military heritage, and share a unique viewpoint with the men, soldiers and architects who preceded us here.

Rehabilitated between 1991 and 1995 and open to the public, the Saint-Eynard fort offers a beautiful view of the Belledonne massif, the Grésivaudan valley and Grenoble. A permanent exhibition on the life of the garrison at the fort awaits you. The technological evolution of artillery during the 19th century forced the military authorities to review the defensive system at the national level. From then on, the defense of the territory was organized around a series of separate forts that crossed each other. Grenoble's defense, also linked to the creation of the new kingdom of Italy in 1861, was ensured by the forts of Saint-Eynard, Bourcet, Quatre-Seigneurs, Montavie, Mûrier and Comboire, to which were added several artillery batteries such as Quichat and Néron. The fort of St Eynard controlled the roads crossing the Chartreuse, thanks to 25 artillery pieces and a garrison of 477 men.

Commissioned in 1918, this power station was built to meet the increased energy requirements of the Keller et Leleux factory, producers of synthetic cast-iron in Livet during the First World War. It is currently opened to the public. Les Vernes factory, which was given listed building status on 2 September 1994, is not open to the public. This power station, which was built around 15 years after Building II of the Livet power station, was designed to "showcase" water. All the functions of the power station, from the water chamber to the outlet canal are concentrated in the same area. In 1925, Charles-Albert Keller described his project as follows, "Firstly, I followed my personal taste in the matter. I then wanted to show that hydropower and tourism can go hand-in-hand and I wished to play a role in making this area, to which I am so attached, more attractive. Lastly, but certainly not least, I wanted to offer my respected staff additional proof of my affectionate solicitude by enabling them to benefit from these features that make their lives and the lives of their families more pleasant." The upper terrace, which is level with the road, was created as a French-style formal garden with an alley, trees, lawns lined with vases, a stone fountain (which is in fact the pressure chamber-surge tank) and fence. Projectors were originally mounted on pylons. The lower terrace containing the power station is at river bank level. It is a huge courtyard, partly tree-lined and designed to be admired from all distances and viewpoints. It is fenced off to the north by the Romanche river and to the west by the outlet canal, making it look like a castel protected by a moat and drawbridge. Linking the two levels, the immense stone staircase, made of moulded cement, drew its inspiration from the Vizille Castel (layout, balusters and alcoves). The staircase is a functional feature for circulating the water, but over and above this, it is a theatrical surprise and a practical way of exploring the site. Originally it was lit up at night and featured a wayside cross. It is open to the public.

Driving up the Romanche Valley takes you to the cradle of hydroelectricity in Livet-Gavet, as well as giving you an opportunity to witness the ongoing developments of the EDF Romanche-Gavet project. Closed factories, dating back to the early 20th century (in particular the Vernes factory) can be seen stringed out along the valley, co-existing with the most powerful dam in France - the Grand'Maison - located above Allemond. The history of the lower Romanche Valley is intertwined with natural elements, mineral resources, hydraulic energy and reserves of timber, which have encouraged the development of different types of industries over the centuries: trip hammers in the Middle Ages, followed by furnaces, paper mills and then electrometallurgy and electrochemicals. Formally the economic lung of Oisans, the valley factories attracted peasants to work in the winter, who then returned to their herds and flocks in the summer. The very first seasonal workers! These days, after several decades of disuse, the valley is taking more care over its appearance and has launched a new large-scale hydroelectric project called the Romanche Gavet. What energy! History, just like water, continues along its way. The Romanche Museum in Rioupéroux retraces this history, depicting not only the industrial heritage of the Romanche and local geology, but also the expansion of these activities and the lives of the people involved.

The second gate of the city to be preserved among the five gates of the 17th century enclosure, the Saint Laurent Gate was built in 1615 and allowed to reach Savoy by the right bank of the Isère in the Grésivaudan valley. Included in the new casemated fortifications built around 1830 by General Haxo and saved from destruction, in the second half of the 19th century, by the construction of the quays of the Isère, which thus accommodated the flow of traffic, the Porte Saint Laurent is still a fine example of 17th century defensive architecture. In this respect, the exterior façade, on the La Tronche side, is the most interesting. One can still observe the machicolation protecting the vaulted passage and the two bretches intended to defend the pedestrian doors. The Saint Laurent gate is also the only one to have kept its heavy wooden doors, dated from the 19th century. Until 1864, the city gates were closed from 10 pm to 7 am. The Saint Laurent gate was open from 5 am. The building was listed in 1931.

Mountain church with a typical Dauphin porch bell tower, featuring 8 stained glass windows, created by the painter Arcabas and realized by the master glass artist Christophe Berthier. The church of Sappey-en-Chartreuse has been a symbolic landmark for nearly nine centuries, at the entrance to a mountain range marked by religious spirituality. Attested on the site since 1115, the building was redesigned in the 17th century and then in the 19th century with the help of the monks of the Grande Chartreuse. The eight stained glass windows that adorn the church are the work of Arcabas. They represent the Resurection of Christ and were made by Christophe Berthier, a master glass artist from Grenoble.
