The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) are a unique opportunity to make new discoveries and discover our most beautiful treasures. Every year, on the third weekend in September, a program of events - generally free of charge - awaits us in museums, châteaux, monuments and churches, as well as in more unusual locations, including ministries, embassies, hospitals, major institutions and fashion houses. Young and old alike can enjoy workshops, tours, entertainment and much more.
In Paris and the Ile-de-France region, a rich program awaits you at each edition, so much so that it's hard not to find an idea for an outing to match your passion. Hold on to your hats for the next event: the 42nd edition of the Journées du Patrimoine will take place on the weekend of September 20 and 21, 2025 in the Paris region.
