Urbain Basset, born in Grenoble in 1842, created the statue « The Torrent » in 1878. On the earthenware jar, we can see all of the astrological figures, except that of Aquarius, represented by the fountain itself. A miniature of the work was bought by the state and handed over to the Museum of Grenoble, where it is displayed today. The fountain version of “The Torrent” was then acquired by the city of Grenoble. Finished in 1882, the fountain was initially placed in Verdun square. It was then moved to the Jardin de Ville park and placed at the heart of the park’s wooded area. Perched atop a small pile of stones, the statue let its water run out of the jar, over the rocks, and into a small pond. Both the fountain and the pond were removed in 1935 and the statue was stored away. Seized in July 1942, the statue was shipped to Germany to be melted down and support the German war effort. Miraculously spared, the statue was returned to Grenoble in 1952 where it was put into storage. It wasn’t until 1985 that the statue was returned to the Jardin de Ville park, for the 100th anniversary of the Grenoble Water Authority. Today, “The Torrent” lets its water flow over a contemporary-style stone base.

Originally planned as a tribute to the famous events of the “Day of the Roof Tiles,” the fountain of the three orders finally came to celebrate the centenary of the revolution in the Dauphiné and as such, was not inaugurated until 1897 by the French president Félix Faure. The limestone monument is the work of Henri Ding. Four bronze tritons call out a water song from their horns of plenty, proclaiming the budding values of the new Republic: Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood…and Justice. Three figures crown the fountain, representing the nobility, the clergy, and the Third Estate looking together towards the same radiant future.

At the time, they supported the terrace of the Jardin de Ville park and occasionally sheltered produce merchants. This fountain was the first to pump water from the Chartreuse mountains to Grenoble’s left bank, via pipes that run from the Saint Jean source and under the Isere river.

Roman bell tower, flamboyant Gothic ciboire from the 15th century to the right of the choir, wooden bas reliefs from the 17th century depicting scenes from the life of Jesus. The Notre Dame cathedral is located in the historic center of Grenoble, which developed around the cathedral throughout the ages. By becoming an official city in the 3rd century, Grenoble also became the center of a diocese. Built in a bend in the city ramparts, the "bishop's city" was organized around a baptistry, a double cathedral (Notre Dame and Saint Hugues), and the residence of the bishops. The history of this episcopal city was revealed to us recently after 10 years of research: The Bishop's Palace became the Museum of the Old Bishop's Palace, with the remains from the Gallo Roman period underground: the rampart from the 3rd century, the postern that allows us to enter the ruins of Cularo (the Gallo Roman name of Grenoble) and finally the baptistery and its annex rooms. The baptismal font reminds us of the primitive liturgy of the baptism. The 13th century cathedral is built against the St Hugues church (11th century).

Grenoble
> place Aristide Briand Porte de France
In 1785, Jean-Baptiste Dolle, a Grenoble merchant, was the first to have the idea of implanting a park within the fortifications that Lesdiguières had built. He set up six superimposed terraces with support walls, stairways between the terraces, and foot paths. He planted tress and carved out hills. Near the rampart, he built a Roman-style house, furnished it through the woodworker Hache, created a rich library, built greenhouses, and dug wells. The locals called it the chateau of utter madness for the extravagant parties that took place there.
The park was abandoned during the French Revolution and damaged throughout the 19th century by the activities of a nearby stone quarry and bullet factory. It was renovated at the beginning of the 20th century by the landscaper Ginet, who expanded it to include a pedestrian link to the Bastille cable car. The park offers a resolutely Alpine atmosphere, but with a Mediterranean character, as it faces south and is protected from the wind. Pomegranate, banana, boxwood, and medlar trees take root here.

The Island Tower, which is today integrated into the Museum of Grenoble, stands 30 meters height and includes a machicolation. Construction on the tower began in 1381 and was completed around 1418. The town consuls chose it to host their council meetings and it became the first city hall of Grenoble. The city archives were stored on the upper floor. With the arrival of Lesdiguières, the tower was transformed into an arsenal. The consuls thus had to move elsewhere. From 1187 to 1954, it served as a military dovecote, where more than 300 birds were housed.

Christian Charvet began to paint in the years 1970.
Throughout the years, he has explored numerous subjects and forms (cubism, representational art, utopism...), which has carried him to the abstract canvas and to the square shape (1 x 1 metre ), which characterize his art nowadays.
It was during his "red time" (1990's) that he processed long researches around Arthur Rimbaud, and that he created the character in painting. Still today, we can find in his canvas the atmospheres and the warm colors of the remote lands, decribed by the poet.
Mentionned in the Drouot guide, Christian Charvet has exhibited his works all around the world before settling definitely in his gallery of Grenoble, "la Malle-Poste", which remaind now his only place of exhibition.
