Grignan - St Sauveur

 
Below the Grignan castle stands the Church of St-Sauveur, built 1535-1539 on the order of Louis Adhémar by Jehan Delanche for the canonry founded in 1654. The left-hand wall of the nave abuts the hillside. A gallery in the single-aisled church has a direct entrance (17m/56 feet above the ground) to the castle; during the French Revolution it was walled up.

With its ribbed vaults and traceried windows the building reveals elements of Late Gothic (Flamboyant). To the left of the gilded High Altar, with its altarpiece showing the "Transfiguration", can be seen the tomb of the Marquise de Sévigné beneath a marble slab. The paneling dates from the second half of the 17th C.
