FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Where is Les Caves du Louvre?
Les Caves du Louvre is located at 52 rue de l’Arbre Sec 75001 Paris, in a private mansion steeped in history and secrets. Built by André Eynaud, an eminent wine merchant under Louis XV, this mansion hides a network of historic cellars beneath its vaults, which are said to have discreetly supplied the Louvre Palace with rare wines. Later taken over by Jacques-François Trudon, heir to the royal wax factories, the premises were home to a wine shop that operated the cellars until recently.
