In 2011[9], the idea for the current Museum of Champagne and Regional Archaeology was born. The project was approved by the French Ministry of Culture in 2014, and in 2016 the renovation work was entrusted to the architectural firm Frenak + Jullien. Work began in 2018, under the supervision of the chief architect of historical monuments Lionel Dubois. Château Perrier has now been restored and contains one of the most important archaeological exhibits in France, with some 80,000 regional artefacts (dating from the Paleolithic to the Early Middle Period) and 4,000 artefacts relating to the history of Champagne wine (since 1960).[10]

The Château Perrier, at number 13, was built from 1852 to 1857[9] by the architect Pierre-Eugène Cordier, in an eclectic Louis XIII style. In 1854[10], the couple Pierre-Nicolas Perrier, a cork manufacturer, and Adèle Jouët (the founders of the Perrier-Jouët champagne house), who had married in 1811, commissioned the construction of this castle. The four facades are inspired by the architecture of the French Renaissance, to the Parisian image of the Palais du Luxembourg, the Palais des Tuileries or the Lescot of the Louvre. The facades are a play of colours with materials such as brick, natural stone, slate and glass.

Between 1872 and 1884, the concierge and the orangery were built on the outer edge of a vast park, according to plans by the architect Alphonse Gosset (1835-1914)[5]. In 1920, the park was acquired by the municipality with the Auban-Moët mansion and opened to the public. The part of the park around the town hall is laid out in the French style, to emphasise the classical and sober facade of the building. It consists of a grass path and two symmetrical access paths arranged in a horseshoe shape around a fountain. It is decorated with two bronze lions, cast iron statues of ancient gods and various other statues. The other part of the park is laid out in the English style: it is crossed by hilly paths, groves, two pools of water, an artificial island and a rocky grotto with a waterfall. On this side of the garden is a temple of love, built of limestone. This belvedere with Corinthian columns has a coffered ceiling. It is inspired by the Temple of Love in the Petit Trianon in Versailles. The City Hall Park has the label "Remarkable Garden".🪴 In

Épernay Town Hall is located at number 7bis in the former Auban-Moët mansion, built in 1858 by Victor Moët (1797–1881)[5] to a design by the architect Victor Le Noir, who also designed the Montparnasse railway station in Paris. In the early 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Isabey had the building redesigned in a classical style for Jean-Remy Moët, owner of the Hôtel Auban-Moët and mayor of Épernay. The current layout dates from 1857 and is the work of the brothers Denis and Eugène Bühler. It was donated to the city in 1919, which took it into use as a town hall in 1920. The building houses luxurious rooms, including the wedding hall and the council chamber. The building has been listed as a French Historical Monument since 26 June 2012.[5][6]
