Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Palais Benedictine, 110 rue Alexandre Le Grand, 76400 Fecamp France

The Benedictine Palace, an architectural masterpiece of Gothic and Renaissance inspiration, was erected at the end of the 19th century in honour of the Benedictine liqueur by Alexandre Le Grand, a wine merchant from Fécamp, who had found a recipe created in 1510 by a Benedictine monk in a grimoire.

This eclectic building will introduce Bénédictine through a unique experience. They will first explore the museum, which houses rich collections of sacred and ancient art related to Benedictine heritage, as well as a room dedicated to its industrial history. The guided tour then leads to the only Benedictine distillery in the world, with its hammered copper stills of the 19th century, and to the cellars. Visitors then head to La Vérrière where a tasting is offered* of our liqueur

Don't expect much history! Most of the visit is based on half truths which are hidden or poorly explained. Is this a Benedictine palace? It was built in 1900. Is it Benedictine? The abbey was on another site (this site was a brewery). Is it a Benedictine recipe? The abbey was dissolved 70 years before the current product was invented.

this was a dream day for me, the Abbey was amazing. I couldn't believe the art and manuscripts on display, I thought it was just going to be the distillery-which itself was fantastic. The staff are wonderful and it was so educational as well as absolutely beautiful-cant recommend it enough

We toured the Palais Benedictine in Fecamp. It is the ONLY place in the world where Benedictine is made. (NOTE:Benedictine is an age-old liqueur originally developed by in this palais by monks.) The tour included viewing the palais and various old artifacts. Some were unique such as a room filled with wrought-iron products of the 1500's and 1600's, including some huge locks and door hinges and door latches. Also many old manuscripts and documents. Was quite fascinating. Also viewed a replica of the process for making Benedictine and ended with a sample tasting of the product. Interesting Tour.

Fecamp city was a one day trip for us. Everybody advised us to visit the Palais Benedictine which we did in 2h30. My teens are keen on old buildings, historical places and artifacts and we were not deceived. The visit of the Distillery was less impressive but it's very clearly explained (thanks to the video).
