The FRANCE VOYAGE website reports on the origin of the current place name with Saint DONATUS: "With the advent of Christianity, Saint-Donat bore the name Jovincieu or Jovenzieux. In 732, during the invasion of the Saracens, Corbus, the bishop of Grenoble, fled to Jovenzieux and brought with him the relics of Saint Donatus, who died in the 6th century, on his way to Sisteron – hence the name Saint-Donat." However, the collegiate church located in the town has a different patron saint than the place name; here, the choice was made for the two prince of the apostles, SAINTS PIERRE et PAUL, whose common feast day is celebrated on June 29th in the calendar.

A beautiful place that is definitely worth visiting. It was pouring with rain when we were there, but it was still great - the rain always passes quickly

This greenway cycle route begins in St Nazaire en Royans. The crossing of Romans can be improved but the walk is nice.
