Grenoble
 . Pop. (1906) town, 13,304; Commune, 17,622. Romans stands on an
eminence
  on the right bank of the Isere, a fine stone
bridge
  uniting it with Bourg-de-Peage (pop. 4668) on the other side of the river. Both towns owe their prosperity to their situation in the most fertile part of the valley of the Isere. The present parish church belonged to an abbey founded in 837 by St
Bernard
 ,
bishop
  of Vienne. The principal portal is a fine specimen of 12th-century Romanesque, and the lower part of the
nave
  is of the same period; the choir and the transept are striking examples of the style of the 13th century.
Romans has a tribunal of commerce and a communal college. Its
industries
  include tanning, leather-dressing and shoe-making, silk-spinning, hat-making, absinthe-distilling and oil-refining. There is trade in walnuts,
