The history of this small village of 250 inhabitants, perched in the heart of the Drôme hills, is linked to that of the Principality of Monaco, thanks to a certain Lord Imbert de Bathernay. He is the ancestor of Prince Albert II of Monaco. Since May 2023, the town has officially become "Grimaldi historic site of Monaco". Discover its church and its troglodyte houses.

Located in the town of Saint-Donat-sur-l'Herbasse, the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul dates from 894. A text mentions a church dedicated to Saint Mary or Saint Donat in the Vicus Jovinziacus. Originally Romanesque in style, it has an imposing porch bell tower, the first level of which dates from the 13th century. In 1940, the nave was completely rebuilt. It has been listed as a historical monument since 1906 and has a magnificent cloister.

This Romanesque church, which dates from the 11-12th century, is built of molasse cut stone and pebbles. It is nestled on a hill overlooking the old cemetery and the village of Chantemerle. It is superbly well preserved and delights lovers of architecture.
