Romans-sur-Isere
Art and Culture
Art and culture still thrives today. The town has a rich cultural heritage of art, architecture and music. This tradition continues and many small squares are enlivened with modern sculptures and water features.
The Jacquemart
Jacques Marteau - the small figure who comes out to strike the hour on top of the Mediaeval clock tower has been part of the town’s daily life for over 500 years. He watches over the attractive square below.
Food and Wine
Good traditional food and local farm produce play an important part in everyday living - alongside the large supermarkets. Pogne is the local sweet bread - good for dunking in coffee !
Modern Art & Fun
This rather large lady is apparently inviting someone to kiss her ! A challenge if you lose your game of petanque in this town park.
If you visit Romans see if you can find her. She’s not far from the Town Hall.
The Town
Romans is a very attractive historic town on the banks of the River Isere. Its origins date back to Roman times but it was not until the IX century that it became a centre of art, history and commerce - centred on the collegiate church of St Barnard on the banks of the river.
