In Paris, the American Cathedral awaits you on the weekend of September 19–20, 2026, for Heritage Days. Here’s the schedule you can look forward to.

Here's the cultural must you absolutely can't miss this September in the Paris region. The Journées du Patrimoine invites you to meet on 19 and 20 September 2026 for a 43rd edition that promises a wealth of fascinating visits and unexpected activities. This flagship event on the Parisian cultural calendar invites us to immerse ourselves in the heart of the finest treasures of our heritage through a program so vast that it always lets us find an outing worthy of our passion.

Churches are one of the most impressive jewels in our heritage. It's no surprise, then, that every year, numerous places of worship take part in this major cultural event, to the delight of architecture and history enthusiasts. This year, Parisians of all ages will have the opportunity to rediscover the American Cathedral of Paris.

Located a stone's throw from the famous Champs-Elysées avenue, on the prestigious Avenue George V, the American Cathedral of Paris or Holy Trinity Cathedral (not to be confused with theAmerican Church) was inaugurated in 1886 after some 5 years of construction, and reveals a neo-Gothic style. It was the first American Episcopalian church to be built outside the USA.
