The castle has been home to the Museum of the French Revolution since 1983, with a unique collection of works of art and objects.

Let's take a walk through history. A historical, cultural and natural heritage that needs to be discovered and passed on - access to the park and museum is entirely free - but also because it embodies values that are essential to our society. Just outside Grenoble, at the foot of the Oisans massif, the Domaine départemental de Vizille is an exceptional site. At first glance, it's a wonderful place to relax, with its park and gardens awarded the "Jardin remarquable" label, where families and lovers alike enjoy strolling along the paths in an exceptional natural setting. French parterres, architectural gardens and a romantic park to discover the flora and fauna, with an animal reserve home to many deer. Former home of the Dukes of Lesdiguières in the 17th century, presidential residence from 1925 to 1960, the Domaine de Vizille - owned by the Département de l'Isère - wrote a page in French history when, on July 21, 1788, it hosted the Assembly of the Three Orders of the Dauphiné, the precursor to the revolutionary events of 1789. Since 1983, the château has been home to the Museum of the French Revolution, with a unique collection of artworks and objects evoking the period. Created at the same time as the museum, an Albert Soboul resource center houses the most important documentation devoted to the French Revolution. A land of nature, a land of culture and a land of history, the Domaine de Vizille is a true invitation to travel!

Domaine agréable
Un endroit incroyable mêlant musée de la révolution / "musée" sur la vie de château. N'oubliez pas de visiter également le parc et d'admirer la vue extérieure sur la château, impressionnant pour son imposante structure !

Avec les jours déclinent et la végétation qui change de couleur, le domaine de Vizille acquiert une superbe atmosphère tout à fait propice à la découverteou redécouverte de ce lieu. On aime s'y promener seule, entre amis ou en famille ainsi que bénéficier des autres avantages des lieux (musée, site en ruine au-dessus...). Bref, à ne pas manquer (surtout par beau temps)

Joli château dans un joli parc bien agréable. L'intérieur du château abrite le musée sur la révolution française, intéressant mais peu didactique à mon avis et manquant d'explications claires pour le visiteur standard. Cependant, les jardins et le bâtiment en soi ne méritent, rien qu'à eux seuls, la visite.

Un très joli musée sur la révolution française avec de superbes peintures (tableaux géants comme au Louvre), des statuettes nommées "biscuit en porcelaine dure", des épées et autres objets de l'époque, et des panneaux explicatifs très intéressants.
