The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) are a not-to-be-missed event for art and history enthusiasts, as well as for the curious who want to experience something new. Over the course of a weekend, Parisians for a day and for ever enjoy a varied and often free program of visits, workshops and events in museums, castles, churches, major institutions, ministries, embassies and other surprising places that represent our heritage from every angle.
During this cultural event that’s synonymous with great deals, you can even enjoy openings of places normally closed to the public. As you’ve guessed, it would be a shame to miss the chance of this exceptional weekend! To ensure you don’t miss the next, 43rd edition, mark in your calendars the dates of September 19 and 20, 2026.
If you’re hoping to take part in the Heritage Days to go in search of the capital’s secrets, then here’s an exceptional opening you’ll want to add to your programme. Indeed, on this occasion, the Hôtel de Monaco, home to the residence of the Polish ambassador to France, will open its doors. You’ll then be able to discover this stunning townhouse nestled in the prestigious 7th arrondissement of the capital. Check out the programme awaiting you there!
