Couvent Sainte-Cécile
37 rue Servan 38000 Grenoble
- Isère
- Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Founded on November 22, 1624 by the Bernardine nuns of Grenoble, the convent Sainte-Cécile was bought and restored by the Glénat Editions who made it from their headquarters and a place presenting permanent and temporary exhibitions. Within the former cloister, a monastic garden was restored in 2009\. It is composed of plants for culinary and medicinal use, arranged according to the rules of the ancestral lunar calendar and consistent with the history of the place and the region. Each square is thus associated with a zodiac sign and the plants were chosen in correspondence. The pool in the center of the garden ensures, besides the separation between the different squares, the link with the initial vocation of the place. To the east, spring is placed under the ascendancy of Taurus, sign of earth which is materialized by the small gnomes placed on the fountain. Red and white roses have been planted in this space. In the north, winter corresponds to the period of Aquarius, an air sign tra
