The Apothecary’s shop in Baugé

The hôtel Dieu apothecary in Baugé, a listed monument with wood panelling, a starry vaulted ceiling and marquetry flooring, is considered one of the most beautiful in France. On the Louis XIII-style oak shelving, 650 wooden boxes, pill pots and containers made from pottery, glass and tin, take pride of place. Some of them may even contain their original, ancient remedies… Goats’ blood, powdered wood lice, crayfish eyes and mummified fingers etc.
