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. Cultural experiences (Benedictine Discovery), sensory experiences (Connaisseur Experience, Cocktail Workshop), gastronomic experiences (Gourmet au Palais).

Beautifull Palace that doubles as a museum, distillery and cocktail bar. The tour is 20€ and there is a tasting at the end.

It was interesting, but not really our cup of tea. It seemed many people enjoyed the tour, but it fell short of our expectations. Also, not being drinkers, the sample tasting of the Benedictin liquors did not sit well with either my wife nor me. But, as I said, I think the place is great for most visitors, just not a match for us.

It was an interesting visit, also giving you the chance to enter this beautiful palace. Unluckily there are only two kinds of tickets, children and adults, a bit expensive because they include several liqueur tasting even for the people who do not drink. There is a fresh welcome drink served with lime juice, then the tour starts with the discovery of flavours, ingredients and history of the liqueur, ending with the final tasting of all the kinds of Bénedectine that are produced, and that are also available in the shop.

Interesting place to visit. Only organized groups tour are allowed. We didn't have English speaking group, so joined a French language group and received a brochure to follow up. A couple of rooms were closed, so the tickets' price reflected that - it was correct. The guides were pleasant and answered our questions in English, when was possible. The video went into loop, so the group was seating and watching it second time - probably scared from exam at the end of a tour:) The tasting was well organized with 3 out of 4 type of spirit presented. Overall - a pure touristic spot. We left with a feeling that it was questionable to drive 45 minutes for it. Average value for your money.
