Grignan is located in the south of the Drôme department, near the border of the neighbouring Vaucluse department, and close to Mont Ventoux, the highest mountain in Provence Madame de Sévigné travelled three times to Provence in order to spend time with her daughter and son-in-law: a 14-month stay beginning in 1672; another 14 month stay beginning in 1690 taken before a quick trip to Brittany; and a third stay of 22 months leading right up to her death in 1696. Madame de Sévigné spent only a little less than four years total in the part of France which occupied so much space in her heart and letters.
