At the Saint-Roch cemetery, there was controversy over the possible return of Stendhal’s remains to Grenoble. A visit is organized in the cemetery to validate or not the decision. However, the guide does not arrive and it is a crazy and sympathetic gravedigger who takes the initiative of the visit. According to him, this discussion is troubling among the deceased tenants. A poetic and offbeat visit to discover the cemetery, between Stendhal and his contemporaries.
Writing and direction: Antoine QUIRION

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!"
