On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the Cité du Champagne invites you to visit the Villa Collet, a true evocation of an era, an art of living, a state of mind. Its lounges and curiosity cabinets offer an aesthetic journey to the heart of the 1920s and Art Deco. A firework display of objects, furniture and art photographs, the ground floor reflects the curiosity and audacity of a time and a man who, in the aftermath of war, had everything to rebuild and invent. Leaving artists free rein, the first floor offers a unique view of the themes linked to the world of Champagne Collet.
