Muire Pavilion

The elegant building on your right is Muire Pavilion, one of the few remaining examples of Renaissance architecture in the city. It was built in 1565 by Nicolas de Pâris, Lord of Muire. The land just behind it was bought by Madame Clicquot to house her cellars. She gave it to her partner Edouard Werlé, who built a residence there in 1840, now known as the Hôtel de Marc, and still visible behind the building you see there, in Rue du Marc. 6 years later, Edouard Werlé bought the Muire pavilion, to use its cellars and expand the estate. It still belongs to Veuve Clicquot champagne and was listed as a historic monument in 1920.
