The chartreuse recipe is a carefully kept manufacturing secret. According to tradition, the Carthusian monastery was established in 1605 when the monks of the chartreuse de Vauvert in Paris received a mysterious manuscript from the Duke of Estrées with the formula for an "elixir for long life ". The recipe was not used because of its complexity. From the elixir, the Carthusian monks developed an original liqueur, but it was not until 1764 that the green chartreuse was marketed under the name of "health liquor." Come and discover this local specialty by reserving a room in a 3-star Kyriad hotel.
