Village of Drôme, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Le Grand-Serre takes place at the gates of Isère, not far from Beaurepaire, Hauterives and Montfalcon.

Occupied since prehistoric times, the territory of Grand-Serre was quickly colonized by the Allobroges Gauls, then by the Burgundians in the Middle Ages. Attached to the kingdom of France in 1349 with the rest of Dauphiné, the town distinguished itself during the Second World War with strong resistance activity.

Today mainly focused on tourism, and in particular cycle tourism, the town of Grand-Serre reveals to its visitors a heritage full of charm as well as preserved landscapes conducive to sports activities.

Things to see and do

While strolling in the old center, you will be able to discover all the vestiges of the medieval borough. Remains of the enclosure pierced by five gates, halls from the 11th century with oak framework or even a 13th century fortified house are thus visible.

The 13th century Saint-Mamert church is not lacking in attractions either. Integrated into a Benedictine priory in the 11th century, it reveals several old elements, like a door and a bas-relief from the 10th century classified as Historic Monuments. You will also appreciate the tympanum of the portal representing Christ in Majesty on the bell tower-porch of the 12th century, the Gothic choir, the chapel of the 15th century or even a magnificent marble stoup.

You will also be able to discover some old houses full of charm, as well as the exteriors of the Château du Chatelard.

But it is also for its natural heritage that the village of Grand-Serre is appreciated. Hikers on foot or by bike can thus enjoy a panorama of the Vercors and Mount Pilarde, the view of the Galaure valley or even the paths of the Chambaran forest.

Events and festivities

The weekly market is held every Tuesday morning. A market with beef cattle competition is offered on the Tuesday before Palm Sunday, and the town organizes a turkey market in December. A fair is also offered once a month, except in October.

In early March, Jazz-Alp, the Grand-Serre jazz festival.

The patronal festival offers entertainment for young and old every last Sunday of September.
