This visit illustrates two centuries of medical life in Grenoble. From Father Ovide, the last surgeon of the old regime, to Dominique Mounier, a medical student killed in action in 1944, different personalities have left their mark: doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, midwives, initiators of social protection, propagators of thermalism, homeopathy…
These practitioners animated the life of the city as liberal doctors, doctors and surgeons of hospitals, professors at the medical school, at a time when the school of surgery was slowly becoming medical school.

Cimetière Saint-Roch - Grenoble

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!"
