Benedictine Liqueur Ad – Cambrai, FR – Lowlands Correspondent, Gaia Son

Bénédictine is an herbal liqueur beverage developed by Alexandre Le Grand in the 19th century and produced in France. It is claimed that at the Benedictine Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy, monks had developed a medicinal aromatic herbal beverage which was produced until the abbey’s devastation during the French Revolution, but in fact Alexandre Le Grand invented the recipe himself, helped by a local chemist, and he told this story to connect the liqueur with the city history to increase sales. He began production under the trade name “Bénédictine”, using a bottle with an easily recognizable shape and label. The family eventually sold the company to Martini and Rossi, which was in turn bought by Bacardi. The recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, purportedly known to only three people at any given time. – Wikipedia

Auchan is the French version of Wal-Mart with one exception – quality. The food you can buy at Auchan in France, Spain and Italy rivals and surpasses the quality of the food you can get at a Balducci’s or Fairway anyday – hands-down. See below some of the phenomenal seafood you can get, not to mention (nor feature) some of the incredible cheeses, mushrooms and pastas (especially the ravioli and agnolotti) under the same roof where you can buy a front loader washing-machine or trendy red acid-washed jeans.
