This visit was created in 2020, in response to the exhibition " Grenoble and its artists in the 19th century" proposed by the Grenoble Museum. Thus, we invite you to discover the presence of artists, sculptors and painters who rest at the Saint-Roch cemetery in Grenoble.
Sculptors, during their lifetime they built remarkable funerary works for their contemporaries, before resting there themselves in modest graves. Artists-painters, they found their last home there.
By going to meet these famous dead who left their imprint in our city, our museums and our cemetery, it is the intense artistic life that animated our city and the remarkable creativity that contributed to mark the urban art of Grenoble in the nineteenth century, that will be brought to your attention.

The Saint-Roch Cemetery, created in 1810, currently has 29,000 concessions on 13 ha. More than 800 tombs have been classified remarkable for their architectural, artistic or historical interest following a heritage inventory carried out by the City of Grenoble. Many Grenoble personalities who made the history of the city, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, are buried there: politicians, scientists, artists, religious, military... Thus, in 1901, the Revue des Alpes pittoresques stated: “In a few short years, the cemetery has taken on a serious and majestic aspect: in 1826, the beautiful chapel leading to the main driveway was built and, later in 1884, the stations of a Stations of the Cross were placed there (…). Our necropolis, by the value and beauty of its mausoleums, is one of the richest in the province and we are justly proud of it!"
