Bourg-de-Péage is a historic town located in the Drôme department, on the left bank of the Isère River, facing its 'twin' city, Romans-sur-Isère. The town's name originates from the toll (péage) that travelers had to pay to cross the bridge over the river during the Middle Ages. For over a century, Bourg-de-Péage was the global center of the felt hat industry, particularly known for its high-quality beaver and rabbit fur hats. This industrial legacy shaped the town's growth and social fabric, and although the factories are no longer operational, the heritage remains a cornerstone of local pride. Visitors can enjoy the town's culinary specialty, the Pogne, a sweet, orange-blossom scented brioche that is a staple of the region. The town is also home to the Bois des Naix, a beautiful 10-hectare park along the Isère that provides a natural escape within the urban area. Bourg-de-Péage is well-known in the sporting world, particularly for its top-tier women's handball team and its frequent role as a stage for the Tour de France. It serves as a vital economic and cultural link in the Isère valley, combining industrial history with modern amenities.
