Visited Martin de Candre while in France
Hey all,
So while in France these past couple of weeks on Vacation, I found myself in the region where MdC manufactures and sell their soaps and I figured I would stop in for a visit and check out there facilities and buy some soaps right from the source...
I must say, WOW!!! What an amazing property! They are set in an old 12th century abbey and not only do they run a small, great, hands on soap production facility, but they also have a fine restaurant, hotel and barber shop. The women who is the barber took me and my wife on a nice tour of the facility. Super nice people, an amazing product and wonderful property all added up to a great detour on our trip around France!
On a side note, I did buy both the original and fougére shaving soaps and I can't say enough about them. By leaps and bounds I have to say it is the nicest quality soap I have used to date! The scents are wonderful and the quality of lather is second to none...
My wife also went home with a multiple bars of their lavender bar soap. I usually find lavender soaps to smell off (artificial maybe?) but MdC's versions were intoxicating! I am definitely a convert of their products. Not cheap but definitely amazing!
Anyways, I have included some pics I snapped on my phone wandering around the property. I would definitely recommend a stop if you ever find yourself in the area...
