    Great museum. Free. Free audio guide such a long history in the area. Plenty of cool artefacts to look at. Another good way to get out of the cold.

    Such a great museum, and free! Only need an hour or so there, but definitely worth seeing. Staff were friendly and had free audio guides in English. Very unique in that it's built on an actual crypt, rather than stuff just displayed on a shelf.

    I liked they gave us audio guide for free so you can walk by your own and listen stories behind each exposition point. You actually get very close to the objects of exposition. You can reach these ruins by hand. Not just looking from the height of 2 meters through a glass. Never got so close before. Well designed tour. Enjoyed a lot to learn history of this place .

    Wonderful surprise. Free entry and free audio guides, but the experience is so well curated, so atmospheric and so informative that it feels a little embarrassing to not be charged. There are also interactive panels in English, Spanish and Italian to help you discover more about the art work, the archaeological digs and the history of the church. Can't recommend it enough.

    This little museum has an unbelievable amount of heart! Such a lovely little museum that is clearly well looked after. Everything from the main structures to the crypts and artifacts below are well explained and easily accessible. If this sort of museum is your jam then you definitely need to check it out. It’s quick and the audio guide is free!

  • 5/5 Sam M. 10 months ago on Google • 142 reviews
    A brilliant cut-away slice of local history. This old religious site is definitely worth a visit. It's one of the most interesting small sites I've ever seen. The progression of the site is really well explained for adults and children with the coloured overlay of lights. Free to visit and this includes an audio guide in English. Only takes an hour or less.

  • 5/5 Alexa B. 5 years ago on Google • 123 reviews
    Just north of the river you will find this treasure of a historic landmark. The place is free to visit, and they provide you with a free audio guide. The staff were very accommodating and spoke fluent English.

  • 5/5 Alice G. 1 year ago on Google • 105 reviews
    Ancient ruins in an old church, with a crypt and graves. Totally fascinating to see the archeology on display. Free entry.

  • 5/5 Laércio P. 5 years ago on Google • 100 reviews
    Great place for a one-hour visit. Besides being free as in free beer, you can also get an audio file in different languages. The visit tells you a lot about the city. Beware that you will see skeletons and open graves from centuries ago (avoid if you have any related phobia).

    Most beautiful and interesting free entrance museum.

  • 5/5 Tejas O. 2 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    I have been in Grenoble for over half a year and discovered this very recently. It's too good. Definitely underrated/ unheard by the mass.

  • 5/5 Celia K. 3 years ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Haunting but beautiful. Please go with your friends otherwise it's a little bit scary if you are the only one in the museum. The background music and the projection of wandering monks on cave wall are quite...haunting. You can see the skeletons beneth your feet when you walk pass the transparent stairs. I got goose buns.

  • 5/5 Tiago A. 4 years ago on Google
    If you like history and archeology, it is a must see. 1h visit will be fair.

  • 4/5 Hristo S. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Lavalette Fountain is also called the "water tower" or "dolphin fountain". This fountain actually bears the name of the Marquis de la Lavalle, who was Grenoble's mayor in the nineteenth century, and the initiator of the city's first public sewerage fountain. 1825 (Original) Фонтанът Lavalette се нарича също "водна кула" или "фонтан за делфини". Този фонтан всъщност носи името на Маркиз де Лавалет, който е бил кмет на Гренобъл през деветнадесети век и инициатор на първата мрежа от канализационни обществени фонтани на града. 1825 г.

    The place is amazing. It is free to visit. I visited with my child. There was a game for her to collect numbers of different photos and artefacts. It was funny for her. The museum is ordered, the artefacts are preserved and it is beautiful. A place to be visited.
