Calvaire des Récollets, Religious historic site in Romans-sur-Isère, France

The Calvaire des Récollets features 21 stations throughout the historic center and 19 stations within the calvary site, representing the Way of the Cross.

Romanet Boffin, a merchant from Romans-sur-Isère, established this religious complex in 1516 as a reproduction of the Way of the Cross in Fribourg, Switzerland.

The site includes an artificial mount with stairs leading to a crucifixion space, comprising multiple chapels and funeral monuments across 25 meters.

Visitors can explore the restored calvary site through guided tours, particularly during Heritage Days, following extensive renovations completed in June 2017.

Each year on Good Friday, hundreds of people participate in the Grand Voyage pilgrimage, maintaining a tradition that spans over five centuries.
