📍 Couvent des Cordeliers – Forcalquier
The Distillerie de Lure was founded in 1898 in Forcalquier. For nearly 80 years, it saw a succession of owners, including Henri Bardouin, a man passionate about plants. Then, in 1974, Alain Robert and a small team took over the company, now renamed Distilleries et Domaines de Provence. Several of our emblematic brands have existed since the distillery’s origin, such as Farigoule or Gentiane de Lure, while others have been developed over time, taking into account evolving tastes and consumption patterns.
