Romans-sur-Isère, between shoemaking tradition and Drôme delicacies

Welcome to Romans-sur-Isère, a town with a rich industrial and artisanal past, known for being the birthplace of luxury footwear and for its gourmet culinary specialties.

A historic center with Provencal charm
Romans-sur-Isère has a remarkable heritage with the Saint-Barnard collegiate church, a Gothic building with superb stained glass windows and a peaceful cloister. The Saint-Nicolas district, with its cobbled streets and merchant houses, bears witness to the commercial importance of the city since the Middle Ages. Fashion lovers will appreciate the Shoe Museum, housed in a former convent, which traces the history of local know-how and exhibits prestigious models from all over the world.

A natural setting between river and hills
Romans-sur-Isère benefits from a pleasant natural setting. The banks of the Isère offer beautiful walks, and the proximity of the Vercors Regional Natural Park provides access to spectacular landscapes between cliffs and forests. The Gorges de la Bourne, located a few kilometers away, are an essential natural site for lovers of hiking and grandiose landscapes.

A gourmet and refined gastronomy
Romans-sur-Isère is known for several must-try specialties: pogne de Romans, a brioche flavored with orange blossom, or ravioles du Dauphiné, small squares of dough stuffed with cheese and herbs.
