« Taulignan Medieval Village in Drôme Provençale | Main | Cézanne's Le Tholonet village, near Aix-en-Provence »
Grillon is one of the four towns in the Pope's Enclave, a "bubble" of the Vaucluse isolated in the Drôme Provencal, once ruled by the Popes of Avignon.
The little fortified village of Grillon is perched on a bump of stone, surrounded by vineyards and farmlands. In the 18th century, gunpowder was manufactured in caves hollowed out beneath the village.
