Palais Bénédictine by Pierre Noël
Palais Bénédictine is a Gothic- and Renaissance-inspired building erected in the late 1800s in honor of the Bénédictine liqueur by Alexandre Le Grand, a wine merchant from Fécamp who discovered a lost recipe for a potent elixir dating back to 1510 created by a Bénédictine monk. Le Grand named the liqueur after the monks. After shooting this magnificent architecture, you can explore the museum on a guided tour, which features collections of sacred and ancient art related to the legacy of Bénédictine, as well as a room dedicated to its industrial history. After the museum tour, you head to the only Bénédictine distillery in the world and enjoy a tasting of the liqueur in the palace’s Winter Garden. www.benedictinedom.com (Fécamp, France)
