Parcours "centre historique"

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.
