The Grand Pic Saint-Loup continues to innovate in artistic matters. After having installed the first monumental works of the contemporary art exhibition at the edges of landscapes, Metaphors at the foot of Pic Saint-Loup, the Community of Communes has just established, with the help of the Hérault Department, the first road sign in France indicating an artistic installation.
