Short description
Serres is a small town (1,204 inhabitants) in the south of the French Alps, in a region called Dauphiné which, centuries ago, was traditionally given as a fief to the Dauphin (the heird to the throne). Serres is located at the junction of route des deux-soleils (N75) and route des baronnies (D994), not far from the larger towns of Gap and Sisteron.
Former medieval stronghold built at the entrance of a pass through which flows the river Büech, it is rich in local history - notably because of the role of the Duke of Lesdiguière during the religious war at the end of the XVI century.
