Once again this year, the Journées du Patrimoine return to Paris and the Île-de-France region for an eventful 42nd edition. Every year, on the third weekend in September, this flagship event brightens up the holiday season for Parisians. Tourists and locals alike are invited to take over the most beautiful treasures of our heritage to enjoy a special program.
Museums, monuments, castles, churches, hospitals, ministries, embassies and much more - many places play their part every year. On the menu: guided or self-guided tours, workshops for young and old, original events... and it's often all free! Perfect for exploring our heritage from every angle.
Schools are also in the spotlight. Yes, Parisian schools sometimes contain treasures and historical relics that you'd be hard pressed to discover outside of these special occasions. In the 6th arrondissement, you'll find a private school that may well surprise you. TheÉcole Alsacienne is known for its active pedagogy, and is spread over several buildings, including an eclectic brick and stone mansion. Want to find out more? Discover the program that awaits you during the Journées du Patrimoine 2025, organized on September 20 and 21.
The École Alsacienne is opening its doors to present an architectural heritage that has been constantly evolving since 1880, with the buildings constructed by Auburtin, through Jean-Michel Wilmotte's constructions in 2000, to the building constructed by Didier Maufras in 2014.
The tour will be led by high school students, supervised by École Centrale teachers, in groups of 5 to 10 visitors.
Several routes will be offered: the school's architectural heritage, the art collection (murals by Pascal Convert, bench by Pablo Reinoso, etc.).
