Apothecary's suggesting a fascinating guided tour to know all the secrets of these remedies and of the art of healing in the past.

The forerunner of the modern pharmacy was born in the medieval "Hôtels-Dieu". Medicines were made from medicinal plants grown in a vegetable garden or gathered in the wild. Mixed with all kinds of substances, they were used to make concoctions, ointments and other electuaries, which were kept in beautifully decorated earthenware pots. A fascinating guided tour reveals all the secrets of these remedies and the art of healing in the past.

Visite guidée de trois salles exceptionnelles et parfaitement bien conservées : laboratoire, arrière-boutique et officine. La guide maîtrise parfaitement son sujet, n'hésite pas à sortir les objets de leurs étagères et les présenter dans le détail. C'est une belle découverte enrichissante.

A voir absolument... elle se situe à quelques centaines de mètres du monastère, et vaut vraiment le coup d'oeil pour l'histoire et la beauté du lieu... Je l'ai visité lors des journées du patrimoine, et la guide était très intéressante.
