BÉNÉDICTINE
La grande liqueur française
The mural shows traces of older layers of the same brand.
Our man on the field learned that this wall
soon will be painted white, but this was clearly not correct. Our picture in 2004
shows that only the white background was redone, making the wall much nicer.
Bénédictine initially was a
concoction by a monk from Fécamp (France).
The recipe was thought to be lost
during the French revolution.
Alexandre Le Grand in 1863, almost 100 years later, discovered
the secret recipe in an old manuscript.
Alexandre finetuned the formula
and baptised the liquor with its present name.
