A Local Favorite with Great Selection and Prices
If you’re staying in the 15th arrondissement of Paris and want to enjoy good French wine without spending too much, I highly recommend L’Entrepôt des Grands Vins — a shop I personally visited during my time in Paris.
1. L’Entrepôt des Grands Vins
- Address: 62 Rue de la Croix Nivert, 75015 Paris
- Website: www.lentrepotdesgrandsvins.com
This wine shop offers a wide variety of wines from across France, including Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley, and more — all at very reasonable prices. Many bottles are under €10–15, and the staff is both knowledgeable and helpful. Whether you’re looking for something to enjoy with dinner or a bottle to bring home, they’ll help you choose based on your taste and budget.
During my stay, this shop became my go-to. It’s not a touristy store — just a neighborhood gem where locals actually shop. I appreciated the personal attention and selection much more than what you’d find at a typical supermarket.

Taking Wine Home
If you’re flying out of France and want to bring back wine as a souvenir:
- Most countries allow duty-free import up to a limit (check your home country’s rules).
- Wines must be packed securely in your checked luggage unless you buy them at duty-free.
- Paris CDG and Orly airports have wine packing services, but it’s best to prepare in advance.
