La Chartreuse de Vauvert: 500 years of history in the heart of 6ᵉ .
Immerse yourself in 500 years of history as you discover the Carthusian monks of Paris and their mysterious monastery in Vauvert, the birthplace of their very first distillery, now defunct.
Accompanied by an enthusiastic historian-guide, discover this singular Order: its location in the heart of the capital, its unique traditions and ancestral know-how.
Your tour begins in our museographic spaces, where rare documents, historical objects and evocations of the monastery immerse you in the daily life of the Carthusian monks. The tour then continues outside, to the Jardin du Luxembourg, where the Chartreuse de Vauvert once stood.
During this walk, you'll discover the amazing story of the creation of the Elixir Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse: a secret preparation made from 130 plants, flowers, bark, spices and roots, recognized for centuries for its medicinal virtues and used to care for people.
For 1h30, let us guide you through an itinerary as cultural as it is exotic, punctuated by a tasting of Carthusian specialties. An invitation to rediscover the 6ᵉ arrondissement from a new angle, between heritage, nature and traditions.
