Every year, enthusiasts and curious people eager to discover new things get together to make the most of the Journées du Patrimoine. This not-to-be-missed annual event is a real cultural bonanza. During this exceptional weekend, usually the third in September, you can enjoy a rich program of events, often free of charge, at the heart of our heritage treasures. Museums, castles and monuments, as well as private sites such as ministries and embassies, and many more, lend themselves to the game, offering a weekend of guided and self-guided tours, original events and workshops for young and old alike.
You can set off to conquer the must-see sites, or go in search of the capital's most secret monuments. If you're looking for a mysterious getaway, then get ready to (re)discover the underbelly of Paris. For the 40th Journées du Patrimoine, the Catacombs will be unveiling a special program on the weekend of September 16 and 17, 2023. You'll be able to explore these former quarries where the remains of over 6 million Parisians are stored.
