Our long weekend.

Do you know Benedictine?

This bottle is Benedictine and Brandy.🥃 

In fact during the long weekend I managed to fix my blog ( for the moment!) and we decided to to go to Fecamp, by the sea and to the”palais de la Benedictine”

There has been some changes since we last visited it.

We like the taste of the liquor, but are not used to drinking! So we began the visit with a glass of Benedictine when we get the tickets and do the visit with our glass in hand! All visitors having their glass.

This room is for rent for the weddings and events.

The alembics and barrels of Benedictine.

Benedictine is made of various plants and spices such 

as : cardamome, mace, lemon peels, nutmeg, thyme, black tea, angelica ,maidenhair fern,juniper berries, hysop, cloves, cinnamon and some secret plants of course!

“Le Palais de la Benedictine”

 

After we left we went to “Saint Valéry en Caux”

The cocktail bar. With the ticket we had a cocktail at the end! Spritz with Benedictine (it was very good…but) as we are not used to alcohol we ordered a crepe … but the crepe was with mandarin and… Benedictine jam!!

The monks created this beverage 

Love the ceilings

Hope you liked the visit!

Hello Friends

I had my first COVID injection yesterday.

As I have some allergies, I had to stay 30 mn after the injection to see if I was ok.

Last night I had back pains , took a tablet and feel better now.

I like to take pictures of the sky with different lights and clouds.

Some pictures are from the sea side and others from home

The sunset is from my window.

Have you heard of Fecamp in Normandy?

The building is the Benedictine  palace.

Benedictine is an alcohol made with herbs , by the monks.

Before the Covid , we used to go there during the weekend ( it is by the sea) and have a cake and a little glass of Benedictine.

This palace has a fabulous architecture and the inside is a museum. 

It is really worth to visit!
