This place is nothing short of incredible!

This structure has been around for 2 millennia and remains structurally sound - I feel like if they could get a waterway to stand for 2000 years, we should be able to figure out how to make a roof last more than 10 years! We opted for a group tour and despite not speaking French (our friends did) we learned a lot via those who could translate for us! The aqueduct traveled nearly 30 miles and only fell 35 feet from top to bottom. It also went out of commission in 500 AD due to calcium build up in the channel. The tour takes you through the actual waterway up top and provided some unparalleled views. We went on a cloudy day and I can only imagine how amazing this thing must have looked two thousand years ago on a sunny day. I can imagine it looks incredible in a sunny day today! If you have a chance to go here, you should do it. It's incredible from an engineering, history and general interest perspective!

From the owner: Le Calvaire des Récollets de Romans-sur-Isère est composé : d'un chemin de croix ("Le Grand…read moreVoyage"), fait d'oratoires essaimés dans la ville, partant de la collégiale Saint-Barnard et aboutissant au cimetière des Récollets ; du cimetière des Récollets lui-même : c'est un enclos fermé, planté d'arbres, comprenant une vingtaine de monuments : huit chapelles, des tombeaux de familles illustres de la ville, la chapelle du Saint-Sépulcre, le Calvaire central proprement dit (six oratoires et deux chapelles). L'ensemble date pour l'essentiel des années 1820-1860 mais sa reconstruction - après les destructions opérées sous la Révolution française - s'est inspirée du dispositif mis en place au début du XVIe siècle. En 1514, au retour d'un voyage à Fribourg, Romanet Boffin, jeune Suisse installé à Romans, décide d'édifier à travers la ville des chapelles évoquant la Passion du Christ, un Calvaire constituant la dernière étape du "chemin de croix" ainsi aménagé. Les travaux commencent en 1515
