Frequently asked questions: finding and reaching us
Where is L'Arche des Vins and how do I find you?
We are at 3 rue Poterne, 21200 Beaune, right in the heart of the old walled town. You will find us a few steps from Place Carnot and very close to the Hospices de Beaune, on a quiet street in the historic centre. The map at the bottom of this page will guide you to our door.
Where can I park in central Beaune?
Beaune's historic centre is largely pedestrianised, which is part of its charm. Several car parks ring the ramparts and the town centre; once parked, you can reach rue Poterne on foot in a few minutes through the inner-town streets. It is usually the simplest and most pleasant option.
What are your opening hours?
Our usual hours for the cellar and the wine bar are shown on this page, beneath the map. They may change during Beaune's busy periods or for a special event; in that case, the most up-to-date source is our events page, which we invite you to check before setting out.
How can I contact you?
The simplest way is to call or email us: you will find the phone number and email address for both the wine bar and the cellar on this page. You can also leave us a message using the form above, indicating whether your enquiry concerns the cellar or the wine bar, and we will reply as soon as we can.
Can I book a table or hire the venue?
Yes, you can book a table, and we are happy to consider private hire for a group or an event. For how it works and a look at the courtyard terrace, see our wine bar page; you can also reach us directly by phone or through the form on this page.
How do I reach the cellar on foot?
From Place Carnot or the Hospices de Beaune, rue Poterne is easily reached on foot in a few minutes through the walled centre. If you are exploring the vineyards along the Route des Grands Crus, stop off in Beaune: the cellar is an ideal starting point to extend your outing with a glass in hand.
