Château de Grignan stands in Grignan (Drôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 13th century, 20th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing on a rocky outcrop above the Drôme provençale, the château de Grignan grew in successive stages, from the medieval stronghold of the Adhémar family to its 16th century Renaissance facades. Visitors come above all for the 52 metre south front, lined with columns and pilasters, and for the rooms that recall the three stays of Madame de Sévigné, who died here. The site combines refined architecture with a literary memory still present in its apartments.
