Heritage Days 2025 in Paris: visit the famous Sorbonne University

Join us on September 20 and 21 for the Journées du Patrimoine 2025! As every year, this 42nd edition will give you the chance to visit some of France's most famous and little-known cultural sites: museums, monuments, cinemas and neighborhoods.

All these tours are free of charge , and even give you the chance to open the doors of places that are sometimes closed to the public. It's time to quench your thirst for culture, and why not bring the whole family along for the ride?

And what better way to immerse yourself in the country's heritage and culture than at the Sorbonne? This cradle of education, built in 1251 for the first building and 1635 and 1884 for the next two, is home to the rectorat de l'académie de Paris and the chancellerie des universités de Paris. Above all, it's here that some 20,000 students attend courses at the Faculté de Lettres. Its amphitheatres, and in particular its library, give it the air of a veritable museum, and it would be a shame not to see it!
