Rome-if-You-Squint

Official Coat of Arms

A field of pastoral green bearing a crossed baguette and road sign, surmounted by a crown of confused tourists clutching guidebooks to the wrong Rome. The motto beneath reads 'Non Illa Roma' (Not That Rome).

TripAdvisor Review

★★★☆☆ 3/5

"Visited expecting the Colosseum, found a lovely little French village instead. The locals were very patient when I kept asking for directions to the Vatican. Actually quite charming once I adjusted my expectations from 'Eternal City' to 'Eternal Village Green.' The boulangerie does excellent croissants though."

Property Listing

Charming historic village with WORLD-FAMOUS NAME! Located in the heart of the stunning Ardèche region with easy access to... well, everything really, since all roads lead to Rome! Perfect for those seeking the romance of ancient civilization with the convenience of actual French plumbing.

Twinned With

Paris-Tennessee — Both places understand the burden of sharing names with world-famous cities they absolutely are not.

Supporting Evidence

Rome, France has a population of approximately 1,000 people, meaning it has roughly 2,860 times fewer residents than its Italian namesake, yet probably gets at least 12 misdirected postcards per year.
