Este museo nació del encuentro entre el deporte, el arte y la literatura. Valorando la donación Géo-Charles, el museo se mantiene fiel a su espíritu, cerca del arte contemporáneo y de su audacia.
The Géo-Charles Museum aims at enhancing the links between sport and art, through the heritage provided by the donation, as well as through the acquiered pieces of works and temporary exhibits on the subjects of sports or contemporary art.

The city of Echirolles acquired this house in 1982, which once belonged to the viscose company, and transformed it into a sports culture and contemporary art museum.

As a Museum of France, it houses the archives and collections donated by Madame Lucienne Géo-Charles. This heritage makes up a unique 20th century collection of artistic, athletic, and literary treasures, as well as contemporary art works, creating a singular museum at the crossroads of several disciplines.

The museum's collections bring together the acquisitions of a selective collector from the first half of the 20th century, with an inclination for the avant-garde style of the Paris school.

Made up of an ensemble of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and engravings from artists like Derain, Delauney, Léger, Lhote, Masereel, Metzinger, Monteiro, Reth, and Survage, the collection illustrates the sports themed modern art of the period.

The renovation of the museum in 2000 allowed for the assembly of the permanent collection made up of donations by Géo-Charles, a pioneer in athletic art.

The Géo-Charles museum is also a center for contemporary art and hosts temporary exhibits.

The museum traces the history, techniques and applications of the chemical industry in southern Grenoble from 1915 to the present day.

This fascinating museum, abundantly supplied by the inhabitants' gifts, is a rich testimony of the story of Champ sur Drac and the Navarre paper mill. A real industrial saga which cannot be dissociated from the village's story.
The museum is situated in the heart of the Navarre working city, in the former retailer which had been built so as to answer to the workers' needs.

Among the many richness of the museum, one can see a cinema projector which dates back to 1914, tools which used to belong to several different building trades such as the leather trade, cobbling, gloves making, including the “main de fer” invented by Xavier Jouvin, as well as everyday life objects, craftsmanship, schools and the former associative life.

This is one of the few wetlands in the Vercors massif: essentially limestone, it is not conducive to this type of site. The site contains a precious ecosystem with rare plant and animal species.
At an altitude of 1,000 meters in the Vercors, the Peuil peat bog overlooks the 60-hectare commune of Claix. On the cliffside, 400 species of flowers thrive in the cool soil, including Grande Astrance and Drosera, an insectivorous plant. The fauna is highly varied, and if you're discreet, you may catch a glimpse of the peony bullfinch, the agile frog, the palmate newt or the depressed dragonfly.
