Serrières

Serrières stretches along the banks of the Rhône River at an altitude between 135 and 371 meters, offering panoramic views over the river valley in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The town originated during the Gallo-Roman period and developed around two medieval settlements, Serrières to the north and Saint-Sornin to the south, with archaeological discoveries confirming its ancient heritage.

The Musée des Mariniers preserves the maritime heritage in the former Saint-Sornin chapel, showcasing collections of river navigation history including mariners' crosses and traditional water jousting equipment.

Located along departmental road D86, the commune provides access via nearby Péage-de-Roussillon railway station connecting to Lyon and Valence, with local bus services facilitating regional transportation.

The town maintains traditional water jousting competitions on the Rhône River, continuing a centuries-old practice that attracts visitors and preserves the ancient skills of river mariners.
