Saint-Barnard Collegiate Church and the Jacquemart
Founded in the 9th century, the Saint-Barnard Collegiate Church overlooks the Old Bridge and shelters exceptional tapestries of the Mysteries of the Passion. Nearby, the Jacquemart tower, a former town gate topped by a figure striking the hours, has become the symbol of Romans. A gentle walk, notebook in hand, that turns a visit into a real conversation.
International Shoe Museum
Set in a former Visitation convent, the International Shoe Museum shows four thousand pairs from around the world, from Egyptian sandals to haute-couture shoes. Romans was long the French capital of luxury footwear, a heritage still alive at Charles Jourdan and Clergerie. A curious visit that triggers countless questions to share.
Pogne, ravioles and outlet
Romans has given its name to two emblematic specialities: pogne, a brioche flavoured with orange blossom, and Dauphiné ravioles. The shops in the centre and on the hillside offer them all day long. The vast Marques Avenue outlet village makes shopping a possible date. On Lyad, members from Romans share their favourite spots; it is up to you to find someone to raise a glass with.
