The Chartreuse Cellars in Voiron
To provide for the needs of the Order, the Carthusian monks tried their hand at being livestock breeders, printers, illuminators, ironmasters, herbalists, pharmacists, and finally, since the 17th century, liqueur distillers.
The museum tells the story of the mystery of the famous Chartreuse liqueur, but we recommend that all amateurs visit the liqueur production site at Voiron.
You are able to spend a pleasant day, and gain an insight into all the aspects of the life of the Carthusian monks, by combining a visit to both sites (30 km apart).
