Grignan, Medieval castle town in Drôme, France
The hilltop village of Grignan stands around a Renaissance castle with stone houses cascading down the slopes of a limestone outcrop.
The castle, first mentioned in 1105, transformed from a medieval fortress into a Renaissance palace through major renovations between 1543 and 1557.
Letters between Madame de Sevigne and her daughter, who lived in Grignan Castle during the 17th century, created a significant literary legacy.
The town produces high-quality truffles, lavender, and wheat, with regular markets held in the central square beneath the castle walls.
The Collegiate Church of Saint-Sauveur houses the tomb of Madame de Sevigne beneath a marble funerary stone in its Renaissance-style structure.
