Musée du Vin

'Museum of the Wine') is a cultural venue in the 16th arrondissement located at 5, square Charles Dickens, Paris, France next to the Trocadéro and the Eiffel Tower.

The museum testifies to the richness and diversity of the French craft of winemaking, through an exposure to tools and objects used to work the grapevine and the wine.

The collection is shown in an old setting from the Middle Ages and arranged later in storerooms by the Order of the Minims of the Convent of Passy.

Formerly, the hill where the winding galleries of the Wine Museum are located was covered by the vast oak forest.

The Rue des Eaux, current location of the museum, takes its name from the discovery in the 17th century of hot springs that have been exploited for 200 years.

It gathers around the world many thousands of professionals and amateurs who ensure the retention of expertise and quality that make the world-famous French wines.

The "Conseil des Echansons de France" which runs the museum offers to the public a wide range of cultural activities and events on the subject of the vine and wine; and visits to the galleries where its collections are exposed.

It offers visitors the opportunity to recognize or discover traditional tools, sometimes quirky, often overlooked, which are now part of French heritage.
