Best Hikes to Museum of Champagne Wine and Regional Archaeology (Château Perrier)

Tips

  • The Château Perrier, at number 13, was built from 1852 to 1857[9] by the architect Pierre-Eugène Cordier, in an eclectic Louis XIII style. In 1854[10], the couple Pierre-Nicolas Perrier, a cork manufacturer, and Adèle Jouët (the founders of the Perrier-Jouët champagne house), who had married in 1811, commissioned the construction of this castle. The four facades are inspired by the architecture of the French Renaissance, to the Parisian image of the Palais du Luxembourg, the Palais des Tuileries or the Lescot of the Louvre. The facades are a play of colours with materials such as brick, natural stone, slate and glass.

  • In 2011[9], the idea for the current Museum of Champagne and Regional Archaeology was born. The project was approved by the French Ministry of Culture in 2014, and in 2016 the renovation work was entrusted to the architectural firm Frenak + Jullien. Work began in 2018, under the supervision of the chief architect of historical monuments Lionel Dubois. Château Perrier has now been restored and contains one of the most important archaeological exhibits in France, with some 80,000 regional artefacts (dating from the Paleolithic to the Early Middle Period) and 4,000 artefacts relating to the history of Champagne wine (since 1960).[10]
