At the edge of Isère and Savoy, Romagnieu, a city of culture and leisure, opens its doors to you. Nestled between the arms of the Guiers and the Bievre, the town proudly preserves its rural character. Located on the ancient Roman road linking Chambéry to Vienne, the village has discovered many vestiges of the Gallo-Roman period, attesting to places of life on the land of the commune. The Guiers was the object of several wars of territory between Dauphiné and Savoy for many centuries, Romagnieu being in the first line of the conflict. Despite all these squabbles, the village has remained untouched and welcomes you today in a warm and authentic setting where the houses typically dauphinois, with walls adobe and capped a roof with four slopes, pigment the streets.

Things to see and do

It is nature and relaxation that prevail in Romagnieu. And to do this, you will enjoy the activities proposed by its leisure base. Everything is made to amuse the whole family from the smallest to the greatest. Between a siesta on your towel under the soft sun and a swim in the clear waters of the lake, you can practice, according to your tastes, all kinds of water sports like paddle or pedalo. Children will climb on the inflatable structures placed on the water to slip into the lake and have fun splashing into the water. Numerous themed evenings are organized around the lake and the equipped beaches will bring you all the necessary comfort.

Hikers will find their pleasure with no less than 500 kilometers of itineraries at their disposal. You will be able to escape in the valleys of the Guiers, the valley of Hien or even the valleys of the Tour du Pin among others. Miles of walks in a verdant nature abounding of a remarkable flora and fauna that will allow oneself to admire the time of the walk. The pond of water lilies among others is a preserved place where you can see webbed tritons and other rare species. In addition, you may be on the way to Santiago de Compostela since the road to Compostela passes through the lake of Romagnieu.

The old stones speak to Romagnieu and tell you their eventful or wiser story. Thus, the church dating from the 11th and 12th century gave way to a building from 1846. Several times revised, it now offers its definitive face to visitors. The ruins of the castle of Romagnieu overlook the Guiers. With its 7 towers, of which only one survived, the immense building of the past has left only vestiges invaded by a vegetation that has resumed its rights. Also worth seeing is the Château de Beauregard, a magnificent building dating from the 16th century, which is discovered from the outside.
