Les Caves de l'Hôtel de Paris celebrate their 150th anniversary!

Since their inauguration in 1874, these emblematic cellars have been an unchanging witness to a whole chapter of history, sometimes even playing a decisive role in its evolution.

A precious legacy: 150 years of history The history of the Caves de l'Hôtel de Paris goes back to François Blanc's innovative vision in 1864 of creating a resort comprising several establishments, all linked to a single house. Marie Blanc initiated and financed part of this colossal project in 1874. Since then, they have been the beating heart of the wine supply for the Resort's establishments, housing over 450,000 bottles, veritable wine treasures prized by oenophiles, all under the direction of Executive Head Sommelier, Patrice Franck.
