    About a year ago, Chartreuse Diffusion, the company that markets the famous herbal liqueur, opened a visitor's center and tasting room in the heart of Paris. Its location, at 128 Boulevard Saint-Germain, was chosen to be as close as possible to the location of the Carthusian monastery of Vauvert and the Jardin du Luxembourg.  The…
