Grignan, France, an ancient town on a hill, most famous for its hilltop castle, is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in southern France. Grinion is prominent not only because of the endless lavender fields under the mountain, but also because of a 17th-century marquis, Madame Sevigny (Madame de Sevigne). She was a noble woman active in Paris's upper-class society in the 17th century, and had never been literary in her life, but became a recognized female writer in the literary world because of the large number of letters to her daughter. The Lettres, which contains her letters, has now been translated into many languages and published in many countries around the world.
