Certain places and monuments in Paris are considered must-sees: it's impossible to visit the capital without seeing the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the department stores, the Sacré-Coeur... And, of course, the Louvre. But the list doesn't end there, because around the famous art venue, there are many more must-sees.
The Louvre Museum and its collections are a must-see, as is the pyramid that decorates the museum's courtyard, or thearch of the Carrousel du Louvre, which marks the boundary between the museum and the Tuileries Gardens! And it's this Carrousel that we invite you to discover, on September 20 and 21, 2025, on the occasion of the Journées du Patrimoine. It's time to rediscover this capital landmark!
During this cultural weekend, the Arc du Carrousel is offering a free themed tour of places that tell the story of the capital. Find out more about what's in store.
Travel back through eight centuries of history and discover the evolution of the Louvre palace through its architecture, from its origins to the construction of the pyramid.
This Heritage Weekend still has plenty of surprises in store for you, so don't delay, and get off to discover all the treasures of the capital!
