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, they provide an opportunity to discover France's rich heritage. For two days, young and old alike are invited to take advantage of exceptional openings, push open the doors of unusual places or even major institutions, and discover many hidden or little-known treasures. I'm talking about the Journées du Patrimoine, which return on Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, 2023, for a new, 40th edition. Once again, the program promises to be rich and full, with a host of museums, monuments and other places to visit free of charge over two days.
