The Saint - Cecil convent was built in the XVIIth century to shelter the order of Bernardines of Divine Providence. They were hunted(chased away) during Revolution. The convent was allocated to the army, which occupied it until 2001, while the chapel sheltered successively a cinema, a dance hall and finally a theatre. Publishing(Edition) Glénat acquired(bought back) it to restore it (facade, put into a monastery, stained-glass windows, big(great) stony staircase and finally garden) and instal(settle) their head office there. The fund(collection) Glénat for heritage and creation was created in 2013 in Grenoble to liven up(lead) the cultural life of the convent Saint - Cecil. The creation of original exhibitions(exposures) stays the strongest cultural investment beside concerts, conferences, charitable dinners and pedagogic activities and beside mediation to the young audience.
