Before 1789, it was a dependency of the Chapter of Albi, which had renowned vineyards there.
François I offered Saint-Grégoire wine at the famous meeting of the Cap du Drap d’Or to the King of England, Henry VIII.
The interior is very simple with a cul-de-four choir and a wooden gallery. The font bears two faces: a rather hard male head and a thinner female head, which could be Christ and the Virgin.
