Grignan, an ancient town on a hill, is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in southern France, especially the castle on the top of the hill. Grinion is prominent not only because of the endless lavender fields below the mountains, but also because of a 17th century marquis, Madame de Sevigne. She was an aristocratic woman who was active in the upper class of Paris in the 17th century. She never wrote literature in her life, but she became a recognized female writer in the literary circle because of the large number of letters she wrote to her daughter. Lettres, which contains her letters, has now been translated into many languages and published in many countries around the world.
