Modern technology has crept into these magnificent vaulted cellars of 600 m2 dating back to the 18th century, which kept Louis XV well-supplied with exceptional vintages. In the guise of an entertaining and interactive tour, the Caves du Louvre have come up with an original concept. Based on an itinerary calling on all five senses, it starts with the soil and ends with the bottle, using an application downloaded onto visitors’ Smartphones, which introduces them to the world of œnology and its mysteries. The tour ends with wine tasting hosted by a “sommelier” and a visit to the boutique which compiles a selection of rare labels to take back home.
