Fabrique des Anis de Flavigny

Let the sweet scent of aniseed waft through the narrow streets of Flavigny, leading you to the Fabrique d'Anis, set in the heart of the former Benedictine abbey. Here you'll discover over 400 years of well-preserved expertise, handed down from generation to generation: the making of this delicious sweet. Les Anis de Flavigny offers a sensory immersion experience that lets you discover the making of the sweet and its centuries-old history. Through a guided tour (of the production process) and a self-guided tour (of the museum, the old shipping and packaging workshops and the Carolingian crypt), you'll discover how a small seed became a sweet over the course of history...
Today, the same recipe is still used, with precious ingredients, patience and meticulousness, and a 15-day candy-making process.
After your visit, it's time to relax with a range of wooden fairground games, architectural games, an olfactory workshop and a tasting of our Flavigny candy, 13 different flavours, of which only the original is aniseed-flavoured. You can also enjoy our café-crêperie and its terrace in summer. The shop offers a wide range of delicacies and a generous selection of Anis wrapped in their world-famous little boxes. You're sure to have a delicious and fragrant day in Flavigny, one of France's most beautiful villages.
