Violet Liqueur

I was in france around Annecy and Megeve. I spent a night and day as a guest of some fine folks from Salomon in a hut on the monte blanc trail hut system. they flew a chef in from paris to cook a simply sublime dinner for us. The evening began with magnums of french champagne topped with less than a splash of violette syrup. I prompty bought a bottle in a food and wine specialty shop in the old section of Annesy. "distillerie charles meunier successeurs" is what is on this label of "creme de violette" but there were other brands to choose from.
This region of france routinely put this in sparkling wine and champagne. I have heared of recipes using in combination with cherry heering and orange juice. This is just the kind of vitage drink folks are looking for. If anyone locates it please call me right away. Since it is so very difficult to find in the states there may be a substantial shipping cost and if someone wants to order it together I would be game for that. let know and good luck
