Romans-sur-Isère, River town in Drôme, France
Romans-sur-Isère is a town on the Isère in the Drôme department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Residential neighborhoods spread over gentle slopes above the riverbank, while the old center keeps its medieval street pattern.
The shoe industry turned the town into a regional production hub during the 19th century, drawing craftsmen and factory workers. This manufacturing tradition shaped economic life and social structure for decades.
The International Shoe Museum keeps 16,500 objects that show shoemaking techniques from medieval times until today. Visitors see exhibitions about craft skills and local production traditions that shaped the town over generations.
The SNCF train station offers regular connections to Valence, Grenoble, and Lyon, supported by a local bus network for short trips within the town. Visitors can explore the center on foot, as most sites lie within comfortable walking distance.
The Saint-Barnard Collegiate Church brings together Romanesque and Gothic building elements from the 12th to the 15th centuries, reflecting different construction phases. Visitors notice the architectural shift as they walk through the nave.
