Palais Bénédictine

Book the Benedictine Palace, one of the most prestigious venues in Normandy

The history of the Benedictine palace begins in 1510 at the Abbey of Fécamp, when the Benedictine monk Dom Bernardo Vincelli is said to have created a secret elixir that was so successful that it continued to be produced by the Benedictine monks of Fécamp until the French Revolution. During this troubled period, the recipe for this famous elixir was lost. But one day in 1863, Alexandre Le Grand, a wine merchant from Fécamp, discovered by chance in his library the composition of this elixir that had been lost during the Revolution. Intrigued, he decided to decipher it and managed to reconstitute it after a year of effort. The elixir then became a liqueur that he named Benedictine in homage to the Benedictine monk Dom Bernardo Vincelli.

He built the sumptuous Palais Bénédictine, inspired by the Gothic and Renaissance periods, to provide a prestigious setting for the liqueur's distillery (still in operation today) and its collection of sacred art. It is this incredible ancient and contemporary history that we offer you to discover at the Palais Bénédictine by living Experiences created for the passionate and the curious.
