=== About The Museum (Translated) ===
Local history in Sculpture, Artifacts, Paintings, and other mixed media -- with a fully restored Roman era Crypt!
THE MUSEUM IN A FEW WORDS (Translated)
Located in the heart of the historic center of Grenoble, in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral, the Musée de l'Ancien Évêché is housed in the former bishops' palace, a building protected as a Historic Monument.
The site presents in its basement archaeological remains of first importance, witnesses of the religious history of the city: the baptistery dating from the first Christian times.
The floors of the palace, which has become a museum, house the exhibition "L'Isère en histoire", inviting a chronological journey to discover a territory, its history and its people. Each year, the museum presents two temporary exhibitions on themes of interest to the heritage of Isère.

=== The Plan ===

1. We will queue at the café between 10:45 and 11:00 for coffee, snacks, etc.
2. We will depart at 11:00h on foot ( the walk is < 5 minutes or about 150 meters to Museum )
