The French Distilleries et Domaines de Provence was founded in Forcalquier in 1898. One of the long line of owners, Henri Bardouin, was absolutely fascinated by plants. It is not surprising that in the 1980s, a pastis which contains a mix of 65 different plants and spices from all over the world came into being. That pastis was, of course, created by and named after him: Henri Bardouin Pastis.
