Tourist sites in Isère: Villages du Lac de Paladru : Musée Archéologique

Welcome to MALP, the Paladru Lake Archaeological Museum, for a captivating journey back in time to the Late Neolithic and the year 1000. Through the exceptional remains discovered beneath the lake's waters, discover the people who lived there so long ago.

For millennia, Paladru Lake provided a protective setting for the remains of two communities that lived on its shores, first during the Late Neolithic period 4,700 years ago and then again in the year 1000.

Underwater excavations have unearthed thousands of highly diverse and excellently preserved finds, preserved by the aquatic environment. Tools, weapons, traces of buildings, and everyday and ceremonial objects provide rare and moving testimony to the daily lives of Neolithic farmers and medieval peasant horsemen.
