During your stay at the beautiful Valras-Plage—just minutes from the Hello Summer Inn Van & Camper-Van Camp—be sure to immerse yourself in the history of Sérignan, a town rich in medieval heritage. History comes alive here, thanks to imposing ramparts and a medieval tower constructed from black volcanic stone sourced from Agde. Don't miss the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, a local gem featuring a bell tower over 30 meters tall. Take the time to admire its magnificent stained-glass windows, created in 1879 by the Mauvernay workshops; they make this church a must-visit destination.
Sérignan is not only steeped in history but is also a place where contemporary art truly flourishes. La Cigalière, an intimate performance venue, features a monumental work by Daniel Buren on its forecourt. Composed of 170 openwork metal pylons, the installation creates a fascinating play of light at nightfall, casting a unique atmosphere bathed in shades of blue and violet.
The contemporary art experience in Sérignan continues at the Regional Museum of Contemporary Art (MRAC), housed in spacious former wine cellars. Spanning 3,200 m², the museum offers an impressive exhibition program showcasing works by both national and international artists. The museum itself is an architectural masterpiece bathed in natural light, ensuring an exceptional artistic and visual experience. Daniel Buren’s work extends into the interior, where colored glass panels create unique visual effects. In 2016, a museum extension enabled the permanent installation of works by artist Bruno Peinado, creating a genuine contemporary art center that is not to be missed.
Sérignan is just 9 minutes away from Hello Summer Inn Van & Camping-Car Camp. Between beach swims, take the time to discover current exhibitions, stroll through the Sérignan market hall, and meet local fruit and vegetable growers. You can also visit nearby wineries, renowned for their quality and craftsmanship. Offering a perfect blend of history, art, and culture, Sérignan is an ideal destination to explore during your campervan trip in the south of France. Hello Summer Inn provides the perfect base for exploring this beautiful town and much more!
