In the run-up to the Fête des Lumières, the apothecary reveals its secrets with candles and judiciously placed lighting installations: a unique atmosphere for a place that's no less unique! Reservations required.
The three rooms (laboratory, small pharmacy and dispensary) show off their riches with luminaries and other "Christmas" lights. Here, the gleam of brass and copper; here, the sparkle of earthenware or glass; elsewhere, the appearance of a mysterious name, the curve of a jar. In this way, the pharmacy of yesteryear is revealed in light and shadow. The final revelation comes when the magnificent setting of the pharmacy is fully illuminated. A feast for the eyes! Reservations required.
Parking: On the road or in the parking lot of the Royal Monastery of Brou, a 5-minute walk away;
Reservations can ONLY be made via the website or at the Tourist Office counter.
