EXPERIENCES

Every way to live absinthe

At the Maison de l'Absinthe, every experience is conceived as an encounter with a living heritage. Visitors come to learn a story, to meet those who keep it alive, and to understand the deep connection between absinthe, its landscape and its uses. Visits, tastings, workshops and themed excursions make up a flexible offering, to be enjoyed alone, with family or with friends.
