The Journées du Patrimoine is a not-to-be-missed event that takes place every year on the third weekend of September in Paris and throughout the Île-de-France region. At each edition of this cultural event synonymous with good deals, many treasures of our heritage open their doors wide to reveal their secrets through a special program, often free of charge. Museums, monuments, castles, libraries, ministries, fashion houses, hospitals, embassies... every year, many places lend themselves to the game, and exceptional openings are legion! So, would you like to discover Paris Region's heritage from all angles? Join us on the weekend of September 21 and 22, 2024, for an eventful 41st edition!
Among the most remarkable treasures of our heritage are places of worship, including cathedrals, churches, and chapels. Not far from the iconic Champs-Élysées and the prestigious Avenue Montaigne, there’s a masterpiece dedicated to commemorating a significant historical tragedy in the heart of the capital.
The Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Consolation in Paris is an expiatory chapel erected in place of the Bazar de la Charité, a charity sale held in a wooden shed. On May 4, 1897, a fire ravaged the premises, claiming over a hundred victims, mostly women, including Sophie-Charlotte, Duchesse d'Alençon, sister of Empress "Sissi", and painter and ceramist Camille Moreau-Nélaton. One year after the tragedy, the foundation stone for the Bazar de la Charité memorial was laid. Inaugurated in 1901, the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Consolation now boasts a neo-Baroque style that can be admired from rue Jean-Goujon. Discover the program that awaits you at the next edition of the Journées du Patrimoine in Paris!
