It's the not-to-be-missed event that brings together the curious and the passionate in September. The Journées du Patrimoine is the event that invites us to explore our treasures in a new light, with a weekend full of guided and self-guided tours, events, workshops and other surprises at the many participating sites. Museums, castles, monuments, churches and libraries are all part of the fun, but that's not all!
The Heritage Days are also an opportunity to enjoy exceptional openings in places that are normally closed to the public, including embassies, ministries, hospitals, and much more. This cultural event is synonymous with great deals and broad appeal. Whether you’re a fan of history, art, fashion, science, or botany, there’s always a outing to match your passion. The next dates are the weekend of September 19–20, 2026 for a promising 43rd edition!
Education is also in the spotlight during the Journées du Patrimoine! Lycées, universities and grandes écoles are sharing the stage to let us discover their secret treasures. TheÉcole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture Paris-Malaquais is waiting to welcomeyou to the École des Beaux-Arts site for this year's event, with a program specially designed for the occasion!
Draw with the students of the Paris-Malaquais School of Architecture – PSL
Did you know? The Paris-Malaquais – PSL School of Architecture sits on the historic site of architecture teaching, the Beaux-Arts de Paris, a place both schools are fortunate to share. It’s a remarkable spot, a microcosm of Paris’s history, of art history in general, and of architecture in particular. Every building on the site is listed as a historic monument.
On Saturday, September 19, for European Heritage Days, architecture students invite you to try your hand at architectural drawing near the shaded fountain in the mulberry courtyard. Whether for 5 minutes or a full half hour, no matter your age or your level, take a moment to sketch as you wish — one of the best ways to discover and understand the space around you.

The lab-style show “41 Fragments for Living” invites 41 young architects, urban planners, and landscape designers under 41 to share their view of what it means to inhabit today. Forty-one videos, texts, and objects reflect their commitments to rethinking housing, its uses, and how it’s made.
