Situated a short distance to the south east of Montélimar on the Route du Soleil, Grignan is located in the Drôme department, in the Rhône-Alpes region (www.guideweb.com/grignan and www.tourisme-paysdegrignan.com).

The website of the municipality of Grignan states: "The Chapel of Saint-Vincent by the Cemetery is the oldest monument in Grignan. Constructed in a primitive Romanesque style, the chapel dates from the eleventh century. The purity of its facade and the regularity of its construction in narrow bonding combine to produce an extraordinary building. The chapel was mentioned in a bull of Pope Paschal II of 24 April 1105, was a dependency of the Priory of Les Tourrettes and was the parish church from 1280 until the fifteenth century”. The interior is as impressive as the exterior. However, the apse, vaulted in a half dome, seems to have undergone numerous changes."
