Experience HOTEL RESTAURANT LES VIEILLES GRANGES at Granges-les-beaumont

La Martinette is a small canal which runs quietly through the town. It provides a pleasant walkway where one can forget the sound of vehicles and admire the flora and fauna of the waterway The course of the river, still visible along Place de la Presle, gives visitors a glimpse of Romans' rich industrial past. Further upstream, in the heart of the city, you can follow a rural itinerary along the banks of the canal (with its many plant and animal species). The canal and its surroundings are home to numerous plant species, such as the groenlanda densa, and animal species, such as the newt, the frog and the leech, which live only in waters that are not very polluted. Their presence testifies to the good quality of the Martinette's waters. Discover the history of this canal with guided tours organized by the Sauvegarde du Patrimoine Romanais Péageois in collaboration with the Pays d'Art et d'Histoire Valence Romans Agglo department.

The historic town center boasts an original and diverse medieval and Renaissance heritage. The social organization of the town at that time is clearly visible. Romans-sur-Isère’s historic centre offers an exceptional ensemble of medieval and Renaissance architecture. The town’s social fabric during those periods can still be read in the way its spaces were structured. To the south, the bell tower of Saint-Barnard Collegiate Church marks the religious heart of the city; to the north, the Jacquemart Tower stands as a symbol of secular authority held by the consuls. Nearby, the Maison du Mouton and the Hôtel de Clérieu reflect the ambitions of the merchant bourgeoisie and the emerging class of judicial nobility, who commissioned grand townhouses to assert their rising status. Wandering through the old streets reveals a wealth of architectural details that bear witness to the city’s development and vitality from the Middle Ages through to the 18th century.

After the destruction of the medieval ramparts in the mid-19th century, the town expanded northwards. A new district emerged, located between the historic center and the train station. The local economy undergoes new developments with the installation of shoe manufacturing workshops. The need for labor led to a sharp rise in population, from 10,000 in 1850 to 20,000 in 1940 and 30,000 in 1968. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Romans was also a garrison town, housing several barracks. Today's city center gradually took on the face we know today. Traffic areas were created for cars, and emblematic monuments were built: the train station, the Bon barracks (now known as Marques Avenue), the Notre-Dame de Lourdes church, the bandstand and private mansions such as the Maison Figuet and the Maison des Statues. 1 - Romans Bourg de Péage train station 2 - Figuet house 3 - Notre Dame de Lourdes 4 - Bon barracks (Marques Avenue) 5 - Shoe Museum 6 - Bandstand 7 - Champ de Mars 8 - House of Statues

The Way of the Cross known as the "Great Journey" and the Cemetery-Calvary of the Recollets, which marks the end of it, is a unique monument. Listed as a Historic Monument, it comprises 21 stations scattered around the historic center and 19 stations on the calvary site. The calvary was founded in 1516 by Romanet Boffin, a Roman merchant, in imitation of the one in Fribourg, Switzerland. A place of pilgrimage, it was intended to replace the pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the Holy Land, which had become very costly and difficult as a result of the Turkish Conquest. Numerous Stations of the Cross were built in Europe between the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th centuries. From the outset, the Romans Pilgrimage was a great success. The Stations of the Cross and the Calvary have undergone many vicissitudes. Today, it remains a Living Heritage §. Every year on Good Friday, several hundred people make the Grand Voyage. Above all, it is a remarkable monument that the town is committed to restoring and enhancing. The celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Way of the Cross in 2016 was an opportunity to raise its profile. At the same time, a major restoration campaign was launched in 2016. The work was completed in June 2017, and it is now possible to visit the calvary site with guided tours organized by Ville et Pays d'Art et d'Histoire! Are you an early riser? Join the faithful pilgrims who gather every Good Friday morning to make this "Great Journey" before their day's work...

The Josaphat staircase takes its name from the valley located east of Jerusalem, near the Mount of Olives, and crossed by the Cedron, a watercourse represented in Romans by the Savasse torrent which is now covered. In 1516, a wealthy Romanais merchant named Romanet Boffin founded a Way of the Cross in Romans and erected several chapels in the streets of the city. The Stations of the Cross traces the Passion of Christ, from the Last Supper to the Ascension. It is composed of 41 oratory stations and ends at the Calvary des Récollets (Golgotha). Quite naturally, the Romanians then name several places in reference to the Stations of the Cross or the City of Jerusalem. This is how the Josaphat staircase takes its name from the valley located east of Jerusalem, near the Mount of Olives, and crossed by the Kidron, a stream represented in Romans by the torrent of the Savasse today covered. The Mount of Olives itself gave its name to the Montolivet coast, at the foot of the Chapeliers coast. There are stations called 'The Mount of Olives' and 'The Prayer of Jesus at the Garden of Olives'. The procession of the Great Journey is still organized every Good Friday.

Opposite the collegiate church at the bottom of rue Pêcherie, place du Puits-du-Cheval. The source, which feeds this well and the fountain, finds its origin in a legend mixing God… and devil! According to legend, young Romanians who had abused alcoholic drinks a little would provoke the devil in these terms: "Let the devil come, we will ride him like a horse!". Immediately, a small horse appears in front of them and the young people, in no way impressed, decide to ride it. Always in a supernatural way, the horse lengthens as our intrepid young people get on it and suddenly, it goes towards Isère. The young people then understand that he is the incarnation of the devil that they had just provoked and they invoke the help of God. But when the horse arrives at the edge of the Isère, the earth opens under its hooves and, unbalanced, it rears up and ejects our unfortunate repentants before being engulfed in the depths of the earth. A source then springs up at this precise location.

The first mention of this bridge in the archives dates back to 1033. As you walk along the quays of the Isère, built in 1860, the Pont Vieux (Old Bridge) comes into view. This bridge enabled the Canons of Saint-Barnard to establish tolls on people, animals and merchandise, which became an important source of revenue. It was not long before the first hamlet on the south bank of the bridge was appropriately named "Le Bourg du Péage", later to become BOURG DE PEAGE. A fortified gate defending the bridge was built in 1393...and demolished in the early 19th century. This fortified gate appears on the town's coat of arms. Before the river's course was regulated by dams, the bridge was repeatedly damaged by the Isère's violent floods. Repeatedly washed away and rebuilt over the centuries, the Pont Vieux was caught up in the turmoil of the Second World War and partly destroyed, first in June 1940 and then again in August 1944!

New! Come and discover the Maison du Mouton, one of the oldest residences in Romans, now a Maison du patrimoine! A free space open to all, inviting you to discover the heritage of the Isère Valley and the Drôme des Collines. History Located in the first urban core of the city, the Maison du Mouton is one of the oldest buildings in Romans. On the street and on the courtyard, its two Gothic facades are indeed dated from the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century. Ashlar stones, painted decorations, extent of the spaces indicate that it belonged to a well-off family. The woolen cloth trade then made the fortune of the city: perhaps one should see in it the explanation of its name. A sheep’s head has adorned the facade since its origin. Very deteriorated, it was returned during major restoration works carried out between 2020 and 2024. The stone used probably comes from the molasses quarries located in Châteauneuf-sur-Isère. These quarries, about fifteen kilometers apart, were exploited from antiquity to the 19th century. Once extracted, the molasse, fine stoneware and easy to cut, circulated by river, both towards Romans and towards Valencia. For the framework and intermediate floors, softwood was mainly used. Beautiful medieval house abandoned during the 20th century, the Maison du Mouton was acquired by the City of Romans in 2020. Open to the public after restoration since 2025, it now houses one of the two sites of the Heritage House of the Land of Art and History of Valence Romans Agglo. The public there discovers the history and architectural heritage of Romans and the Drôme des collines. In Valence, the visitor can continue his visit at the Maison des Têtes, second site dedicated to local heritage. Originally, the ground floor had a commercial or artisanal vocation. The large bays being closed by wooden shutters, the light came from square-shaped light cannons, drilled into the masonry and located high up. The French oak ceiling was restored during the restoration work. It is through this space that the public enters the Heritage House today. An educational workshop also welcomes teachers and their classes. The rear facade of the house is remarkably preserved in its 14th century state. Under the modern staircase, the original straight staircase has been partially preserved. It gave access to the floors from the outside, from the courtyard. The frame of a well is also visible in the masonry. At the back of the house, a building was erected in the 15th or 16th century. This outbuilding could have served as an annex for residential and service uses. Upstairs, a majestic room nearly six meters high corresponds to the aula of the medieval house. Both a reception room and a space for private use, it was the heart of the residence. Heated by an imposing chimney now disappeared, the hall was lit by two tall gothic bays, geminate and trilobed. In front of them, there are seat cushions. These benches arranged in the window recess served as seats. The second floor was able to house the housing of the servants and storage spaces. The offices of the Heritage-Country service for art and history are now located there. Archaeological excavations have unearthed numerous traces of painted decorations, which reveal a pronounced medieval taste for color and geometric patterns. In the aula, a decoration dated from the 14th century, composed of yellow squares on a red background and white borders, was discovered during the work. It has been preserved in situ. In this same room, a decor from the Hôtel de Loulle presents a frieze of coats of arms decorated with plant motifs, in shades of black, red, yellow and blue. The quality of these paintings indicates that high-ranking families occupied the houses in the neighborhood. On the second floor, a simpler decoration, imitating an apparatus of stones, was also discovered. It covered the entire space, in a common approach to many buildings of the same period.

As early as the Middle Ages, a town grew up around the collegiate church. The central square of the medieval town, through which the road from Grenoble to Valence passed for centuries... Since the 10th century, the square has hosted the Sunday market, which remains an essential event in Romanesque life. N°11: Sablière hotel, facade marked by the Renaissance (turret) and the 18th century (high windows). Impasse Saint-Jean (between n°11 and n°13): door of the collegiate church, southern Romanesque style with gear tooth arch.

The 37m high Tower, built in molasse, built in the 12th century, is placed at the top of an old gate of the first city walls. It then housed the dungeon of the 'fortress Montségur' until 1835. It owes its name to the automaton, dressed in the uniform of the soldiers of the Revolution, who strikes the hours with his hammer. In the 15th century, the Consuls ordered a monumental clock from Pierre Cudrifin, watchmaker from Fribourg in Switzerland. Elevated in 1422, to allow the installation of a monumental clock. , it is endowed with a large bronze bell which dates from 1545 and weighs 2,300 kilos. The bell is accompanied by a carillon of 19 smaller bells that allow concerts. The automaton has been striking the hours since 1429. This automaton made of carved wood and zinc is dressed in the 'jaque' clothing of the peasants, hence the nickname of Jacquemart. This character becomes the spokesperson for republican ideas. It measures 2.60m in height. The tower was restored in 2021. (The 10th of the document 'Roman Route on Isère from the Middle Ages to the 11th century' corresponds to the 3rd of the discovery plan of Romans)

The Gare de Romans was opened in 1864 by the Compagnie Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée to serve the Valence-Moirans line, enabling the town to develop economically. Opposite the station is a neighborhood built in the 19th century by the Roman bourgeoisie, enriched by the shoe industry.

This monastery founded in 838 by Barnard, archbishop of Vienne, is at the origin of the city of Romans. Marriage of Romanesque and Gothic style, it houses a pure jewel: the Nine embroidered hangings representing the Passion of Christ (visit in season and on a guided tour) Transformed into a collegiate church around 935, the church was several times destroyed and rebuilt during the medieval period. Its classification as a Historic Monument in 1840 testifies to its importance in terms of history and art history. Western facade The western entrance of the church is decorated with Romanesque sculptures of southern inspiration that represent apostles. To the right of the entrance, one thus recognizes Saint John with a book at his feet. On the left, one can guess the word 'PETRUS' on a phylactery: it is about Saint Peter. The other sculptures could represent Saint Paul and Saint James the Greater. The four characters are surrounded by lions, colonnettes and capitals with rich vegetal decoration evoking antiquity. Mutilated during the French Revolution, the ensemble was also completely overhauled at an undetermined time. Nef The nave is composed of elements from several eras. Dating from the 11th century, the lower parts are the oldest of the building. The nave is raised in the 13th century century, embellished with a triforium (high gallery) and covered with an ogive cross vault. Triforium and the vaults, destroyed in 1567 during the Wars of Religion, are rebuilt identically at the end of the following century. On the north side, we notice historiated capitals from the Romanesque era representing biblical scenes (Visitation, last judgment) and fantastic animals. On both sides of the nave, chapels were founded and decorated between the 15th and 19th centuries. The large sacristy serves as a setting for superb 18th century walnut woodwork and many sacred art objects. On the organ gallery built in 1720, there is an organ signed by Facteur Chambry* and installed in 1843. It is undoubtedly the 4th or 5th organ successively present in the building. Above the organ, stained-glass windows installed in 2000, designed by the artist Georg Ettl and created by the Thomas workshops deliver a modern vision of the Apocalypse of Saint John. *An organ builder is a craftsman specialized in making organs Choir and transept The choir and transept are erected from 1238 in a Gothic style, by decision of Jean de Bernin, archbishop of Vienne, known for his action as a builder. The decor exceptional which is found today in the choir is dated from 1330-1350. It was indeed on this date that the Dauphin Humbert II, also a canon of Saint-Barnard, ceded the Dauphiné to the crown of France, during a ceremony held in Romans in 1349. In this teeming decor, we indeed recognize fleurs-de-lis and crowned figures but also angels on a crenellated walkway and vegetal and geometric patterns. In the two arms of the transept, many traces of paint come from decorations made successively from the 13th to the 19th century Temporary exhibitions and concerts take place several times a year in this building. Possibilities of guided tours for groups or individuals.
