A quite bizzarre, neo-gothic 19th century palace, built by the inventor of Bénédictine liqueur as production site - what it still is today. A combined ticket can be bought on site or booked online. It gives access for a visit of the premises, with a collection of historical items and some nice historical books, and a guided tour through Bénédictine distillery and cellar which ends with a liqueur testing. Palais Bénédictine also includes a bar and a shop to buy the liqueur and souvenirs, both directly accessible without guided tour.
Although there was not much to see from the production, the guided tour was quite interesting to listen and learn about liqueur production, and the tasting was nice.

Thank you for very much for your visit and your comment. We're glad you enjoyed the tour! About the production, indeed we can not show much more than we already are showing for safety and sanitary reasons. Depending on when you visit us, you can get to see the distillation process on-going!

The palace was really interesting, lots of beautiful things to see. We did the distillery tour and Samantha was brilliant - interesting, funny and very friendly. And you got to taste it at the end! A brilliant way to fill a few hours.

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
