Dug out in 1874, more than 150 years have passed since Marie Blanc, wife of François Blanc, founder of la Société des Bains de Mer de Monaco, opened these cellars. Now, seven employees work here all year round, at one of the largest hotel wine cellars in the world, providing wine to 42 restaurants and looking after the 350,000 bottles stored here.

Join Gennaro Iorio, Chef de Cave at the Hôtel de Paris, as he takes us through the cellars to learn more about these hidden treasures and their history.
