The History of our house
Épernay, in the land of Champagne
The Avenue de Champagne, formerly known as Rue du Commerce, from the French Revolution until 1925, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.
“Our Champs-Élysées hide a treasure: beneath the street, over 110 km of cellars carved into the chalk are brimming with champagne that gleams with a golden hue. In total, more than 200 million bottles rest in these galleries just waiting for you!”
History and stories
This 19th-century residence, acquired in 1998, is steeped in history. Built in 1880, it was once home to Eugène Mercier and his family. Later, it became the headquarter of the Sparnacian Resistance during the Second World War in the cellar of the house where Colonel Servagnat and his family lived. It eventually transformed into a hub for Sparnacian social events and later served as accommodation for the guides of the Mercier cellars.
