Paul Ricard bought a distillery in Bessan in 1958.
The RICARD company was founded in Marseille in July 1932 by Paul RICARD, who was 23 years old and had a passion for art. He started out in the wine trade. He met Mr Espanet, a former hairdresser who had become a distiller. Mr Espanet entrusted him with the recipe for his 60° pastis, which he made himself using distillers' spirit, fennel and various herbs. It was then that Paul Ricard decided to create his own pastis.
The Ricard empire was born.
Paul Ricard died on 7 November 1997 in Signes. He now rests on the island of Les Embiez facing the open sea.
