Share the Augustinians’ story

The Monastère des Augustines draws its inspiration from the sisters’ history in designing its various components, which is the case of the “tisanes de l’apothicairesse”. These herbal teas are sold exclusively in the Monastère’sgift shop and are crafted by an herbalist who started her long research in our archives, a true goldmine of recipes used for three centuries by the sisters, who used a natural pharmacopeia to care not only for their patients’ bodies, but also their souls. Sold in individual boxes or tea chests of six flavours, these teas can be enjoyed on various occasions. Quite the original hostess gift or thoughtful gesture for that loved one who has everything!

The Augustinians also had recipes for indoor scents, which can be rediscovered today through the 1639 line, also exclusively sold in the Monastère’s gift shop. Whether you choose a version for vaporizers or a blend of essential oils for a diffuser, these perfumes invite relaxation.
