Bénédictine Palace

Highlight • Monument

The palais was purpose-built to house the D.O.M. Bénédictine distillery, as the original was burned down in 1892. The replacement, completed in 1898, the year Alexander Le Grand died, is both splashy and ornate at the same time, with gothic and renaissance characteristics at play.

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

Hike to the highest point of the Côte d'Albâtre and enjoy the view of Fécamp. Cap Fagnet is a cape that rises 110 meters above sea level, on the outskirts of Fécamp. It is a natural and historical site which offers a breathtaking view of the sea, the cliffs, the port and the city. The hiking trails that lead to the cape allow you to discover the semaphore, the chapel, the bunker and the wind farm.

Bunker at Cap Fagnet

Highlight • Other

Historical monument of the Second World War. A very well preserved bunker reminiscent of the D-Day operation, an event that strongly marked the Normandy landscape. That said, you also have a magnificent view of Fécamp, the cliffs and the sea.
