The background: In 1863 wine merchant Alexandre Le Grand developed a recipe for an herbal liqueur flavored with twenty-seven flowers, berries, herbs, roots, and spices, helped by a local chemist, from old medicinal recipes that he had acquired from a religious foundation where a maternal grandparent had held office as a fiscal prosecutor. To market it, he embellished a story of it having been developed by monks at the Benedictine Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy, and produced by them until the abbey's devastation during the French Revolution. He began production under the trade name "Bénédictine", using a bottle with a distinguishing shape and label. To reinforce his myth, he placed the abbreviation "D.O.M." on the label, for "Deo Optimo Maximo" ("To God, most good, most great"), used at the beginning of documents by the Benedictine Order to dedicate their work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9n%C3%A9dictine#History

Magnificent view
Highlight • Other
is one of the most beautiful walks you can do in Normandy!
Start at the dams to breathe in the sea air, then a little effort over the Côte de la Vierge to finish with a magnificent view of the town and the cliffs overlooking the sea.
At the top, you will learn about the history of Fécamp, from the log cabins to the wind turbines.
A small circuit, ideal for a walk with family or friends!
