Rendez-vous devant le portail du parc de l'hôtel-Dieu (face au restaurant "La Table d'Arthur"), Boulevard de Brou, 01000 Bourg-en-Bresse
Three remarkably well-preserved rooms, including one of the few laboratories open to the public and still in working order, reveal the pharmacy of yesteryear during a guided tour.
A visit takes you straight into the chemistry of centuries gone by: the back store and dispensary display rich collections of earthenware and glassware, most of which still contain plants and curative substances, all in a beautiful setting (woodwork in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles).

On-street parking or on the site of the Brou monastery, a 5-minute walk away.

Reservations required online or at the Tourist Office, places are limited.

The apothecary is not accessible to wheelchair users (stairs). Thank you for your understanding.
