A country's heritage is also its gastronomy and the art of eating, and the French won't deny it! France is famous for its museums, its poets and writers, its castles and historic monuments, its fashion... But also - and above all - for its gastronomy!
So it's impossible to talk about the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) without taking a detour to the places that celebrate good food and French savoir-faire. Baguette and viennoiserie, wine, regional specialities, cheese, honey, desserts, local fruit... Not forgetting, of course, the traditional dishes of our European friends living in Paris or the Paris region. As you can see, the 40th Journées du Patrimoine will be a feast for the eyes!
If you're not already familiar with the Journées du Patrimoine, here's a quick rundown: all over Europe, thousands of historic sites and monuments are opening their doors to visitors free of charge for a weekend, to make this exceptional heritage accessible to all. In the Île-de-France region, over 1,500 sites are taking part in this event, on September 16 and 17, 2023.
