Roman-sur-Isère

Although the traditional leather and shoe industry still thrives, Roman-sur-Isère is now the location for an atomic research center producing nuclear fuel, and a car component factory. The town boasts a museum dedicated to shoes including displays from early Egyptian through to today.

The town dates from the 9^th Century and was the location for the last meeting of the Estates of Dauphiné in December 1788 on the eve of the French Revolution.

The 12^th Century Romanesque church monastery of Saint-Bernard houses a series of 14^th Century Flemish tapestries depicting scenes of the Passion.
