Journées du Patrimoine 2023: exceptional opening of Porte Maillot station in Paris

The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) return this year on Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, 2023. It's an opportunity to discover places that are sometimes secret, but also to take advantage of exceptional openings like the one at Porte Maillot station as part of the EOLE project.

Every year, these days provide a wonderful opportunity to explore France’s rich cultural heritage. Over the course of two days, both locals and visitors are invited to enjoy special openings, step inside unusual sites or major institutions, and uncover many hidden or lesser-known treasures. I'm talking about the Heritage Days, which return on Saturday, September 16 and Sunday, September 17, 2023 for its 40th edition. Once again, the program promises to be packed with a wide array of museums, monuments, and other historic sites open free of charge for two days.
