Discover the hidden treasures of France and Navarre... That's what the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) are all about, as they return with a bang for an exceptional weekend on September 20 and 21, 2025! Since 1984, this Europe-wide cultural event has provided an unprecedented opportunity to delve into the history, art and traditions that shape our heritage. These days will once again be an opportunity to marvel at places that are often inaccessible to the public. And this year, get ready for an exceptional visit: the Grande Loge Féminine de France opens its doors to us on September 21, 2025!
Founded in 1952, the Grande Loge Féminine de France (GLFF) is the largest women's Masonic obedience in Europe. Its rich and fascinating history revolves around the emancipation of women and their role in society. Initiated as a small offshoot of the Grande Loge de France, GLFF has grown to become a unique institution combining spirituality, humanism and intellectual exchange. Come and discover the centuries-old heritage of Freemasonry, but this time through the prism of feminism and femaleempowerment!
For the Journées du Patrimoine, this tour offers you a unique opportunity to delve into a world that is often little-known and shrouded in mystery. In addition to its spellbinding architecture and art treasures, the Grand Lodge will enable you to understand the essential role played by women in the development of modern Freemasonry. From interactive exhibits to heated discussions, look forward to an unforgettable experience that will broaden your horizons and enrich your knowledge of France's cultural and spiritual heritage.
