Made famous by marchioness of Sevigne’s correspondence, the chateau of Grignan is the largest Renaissance palace in South-East France. Its majestic silhouette towering above the village offers magnificent panoramic views of the Drome provencale. Nowadays, collections of paintings, fine furniture and precious fabrics fill its elegant rooms.

If you understand French then you should take the 90 min guided tour. Our guide was a young lady full of enthusiasm which made the story of this originally 10 century fortress fascinating and pushes one to follow up on the lives of those who lived there down through the ages and who had so much influence on French history. The Adhémar family owned the fort from 1239 and it is a descendant, François de Castellane-Ornano-Adhémar de Monteil de Grignan who after the death of his second wife married Françoise de Sévigné the daughter of the Marquise de Sévigné also known as Madame de Sévigné. The Chateau is magnificent and contains a large collection of tapestries and paintings. The rooms are extremely well explained by printed panels both in French and English. As non flash photography is allowed it is possible to document your visit thoroughly. Being situated on the highest point of the village the view is 360 degrees over the rolling countryside. The village which is built all around the Chateau must also be visited so count on having at least one full day.
