The name 'La Romieu' first appears in writings in 1082. Arnaud d'Aux was born in this village in 1265 and was made cardinal in 1312. He had the Collegiale de La Romieu built for his native region.

The complex (now protected by Unesco) is in very good condition and can be visited almost entirely. From the sun-drenched courtyard through the church to the open tower that can be climbed. Via a narrow stone spiral staircase you enter various rooms and eventually even on the roof of the church itself. The roof construction is beautiful to see and there is of course a fantastic view of the surroundings

In addition to the monastery and the village itself, there is also a large botanical garden of about 6ha. For example, you will find the Arboretum, an English garden and a garden with all kinds of medicinal plants. There are separate but also combined tickets for access to the monastery and the botanical garden. And finally, of course, having a drink on a terrace under the watchful eye of Angeline and her cats...
