Musée du vin de Champagne et d'Archéologie régionale / Château Perrier
13 avenue de champagne, 51200 Epernay
The museum is located in the Château Perrier, a 19th-century building classified as a Historic Monument since 2013\. Built between 1852 and 1857 by Sparnacian architect Pierre-Eugène Cordier, the Château Perrier is the first testimony in the region of Eclecticism, an architectural style.
The four facades are inspired by the architecture of the French Renaissance and the Louis XIII style, like Parisian buildings such as the Palais du Luxembourg, the Palais des Tuileries or the Lescot wing of the Palais du Louvre. The sculpted decorations are animated by the play of colour of the materials: brick, stone, slate and glass.
The interior decorations, inlaid parquet floors or the neo-eighteenth-century grille were made by artisans who also created the decorations for the Opéra Garnier or the Hôtel de Ville de Paris.
