Pont-en-Royans (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃.t‿ɑ̃ ʁwajɑ̃]) is a commune in the Isère department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in Southeastern France.[3] In 2021, it had a population of 802.
Geography
The town is located near the Isère valley at the gates of the Vercors Regional Natural Park. It lies at the meeting of the rivers Bourne (which rises in Lans-en-Vercors) and its tributary the Vernaison (which originates in the territory of Saint-Agnan-en-Vercors). The two rivers together collect most of the waters of the Vercors. The left bank and the river after its confluence are located in the department of Drôme.
