Wine Cellars - Freezers - Refrigerators

Paris, France (CNN) -- One of the most extensive wine cellars in the world is about to sell off thousands of items from its prized collection -- allowing buyers to own a piece of bottled history.

The wine cellar sits beneath La Tour d'Argent, a historic and celebrated Paris restaurant whose dining room enjoys a stunning view across the river Seine to the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

Some food writers visiting the glittering restaurant in recent years have not always been so kind, but they could never criticize the view -- or the treasures that lie in the basement wine cellar.

Some 450,000 bottles of wines and spirits dating back more than two centuries sit in the dark corners of what the restaurant calls its "technically perfect" cellar.

According to La Tour d'Argent, the bottles were saved from the German occupation during World War II by Claude Terrail, whose family still owns the restaurant. He personally walled off part of the cellars on the night of June 14, 1940 -- the day the Germans entered Paris, the restaurant says.
