Savour some Bénédictine at the Palais
After a short stopover in Etretat, and a stroll along the top of its wonderful cliffs, why not extend the enjoyment with a walk along the coast and a meet-up in Fécamp, for a memorable visit to the Palais Bénédictine. It’s a sight you won’t be able to get enough of!
This eclectic building promises visitors a unique opportunity to discover the world of the Bénédictine beverage. On the guided tour, your route begins with exploring the museum housing an extensive collection of sacred and ancient art, all part of the Bénédictine heritage, as well as a testament to its industrial history. The tour then leads to the only Bénédictine distillery in the world, where there are hammered copper stills dating from the 19th century, and then you get to visit the cellars where the beverage is aged. Last but not least, visitors can enjoy sampling some Bénédictine.
