The Journées du Patrimoine will be held this year on the weekend of September 20 and 21, 2025. This not-to-be-missed back-to-school event invites you to conquer Europe's heritage with a fabulous program of visits and events, often free of charge, at monuments, museums, churches, castles and other sites usually closed to the public. It's a chance to rediscover our heritage in a whole new way, through a program that's sometimes never been seen before! Something for art and history enthusiasts and curious explorers alike.
Paris and the whole of the Île-de-France region have no intention of letting the opportunity to unveil their finest treasures slip by! In all four corners of the region, numerous towns and cities are getting in on the act, offering us ever more exciting experiences. This is your chance to conquer a heritage that's sometimes still too little known! If you don't have a car and would like to explore the Hauts-de-Seine further, you'll find the town of Bagneux among the spots within navigo's reach. Located on the outskirts of Paris, this commune in the 92 département has a rich program for the Journées du Patrimoine 2025, which you can discover below!
Heritage Days at Clos des Sources in Bagneux
Introductory stone-cutting workshop run by the OCRA association
Heritage Days at the Maison d'Richelieu - now the Maison de la Musique et de la Danse in Bagneux
The painted beams of the Maison d'Richelieu came to light during a survey carried out in the spring of 2004, prior to the conversion of the building into the Maison de la Musique et de la Danse. Beneath the plaster, a French-style ceiling dating back to the first decades of the 17th century, when the house was built, was discovered. This exceptional discovery in the Paris area led to the classification of not only the joists, but also the roof and facades. The house, dubbed the "Maison des oubliettes" in 18th-century chronicles, is said to have been built with money from Cardinal de Richelieu, who used it for "dirty work"...
Take advantage of the European Heritage Days to visit the Maison Richelieu, whose 17th-century painted ceilings have been classified as a Historic Monument. The tour will be followed by a concert of baroque music on period instruments by the Tartini duo.

Heritage Days at Saint-Hermeland church in Bagneux
The artists of Compagnie Galante celebrate the heritage of the town of Bagneux and invite you to (re)discover the Saint-Hermeland church. A show that brings to life this emblematic place in the history of the town and its inhabitants. Through the sounds, words and music that inhabit the stones of this edifice, history is heard and written live. A shared history that contributes to the city's rich present and makes this Balneolais treasure, which belongs to all of us, vibrate.
Saint-Hermeland church, of great architectural quality, was one of the first buildings in France to be classified as a historic monument, in 1862. Its sculpted decorations are among the richest and most varied in the Paris suburbs. It was built between 1160 and 1230, at a time of great revival in religious architecture, as the Gothic style, said to have been invented in the abbey church of Saint-Denis in 1140, would, thanks to technical advances (cross vaulting, buttresses), allow walls to be pierced and light to enter churches, thus supplanting Romanesque architecture in the Île-de-France region and then throughout the country.
Although smaller in size, it is compared to Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, to which the parish of Bagneux belonged. The two cathedrals are roughly contemporary and geographically close, with stylistic similarities that suggest Notre-Dame's craftsmen worked in Bagneux. The church contains tombstones dating from the 13th to 16th centuries, and a 17th-century organ loft.
Pianist François Couturier and violinist Dominique Pifarély, important figures on the French improvised music scene, have collaborated on numerous projects over the past thirty years, including their duo, which made its recording debut on ECM in 1997 with the remarkable album Poros. Preludes and Songs continues the story, and includes music by both musicians as well as works by Jacques Brel, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin and J. J. Johnson. With their contemporary jazz and compositional sensibilities, Couturier and Pifarély transform this vast repertoire into captivating, expressive music.
