When September rolls around in the Paris region, a particularly eagerly-awaited event draws attention to the treasures of Paris and the Île-de-France region. The Journées du Patrimoine is a not-to-be-missed event that gives us the opportunity to discover monuments, museums, châteaux, major institutions and other surprising places through a rich program of special visits and events. This year, the 42nd edition of this XXL cultural event is scheduled for the weekend of September 20 and 21, 2025. Don't miss it!
Are you looking for a program idea in Seine-et-Marne? The 77 département is full of nuggets that are being showcased as part of the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days). One example is the town of Thomery, located between the Seine and the Fontainebleau forest. Well-known for its wine-growing culture, this commune is taking us on a voyage of discovery of its monuments and history, with a number of visits and events scheduled for the Journées du Patrimoine 2025 weekend.
Chemin des longs sillons
Did you know that in the garden of the former priory of Thomery, there was a grotto of Mary?
The parish team invites you to discover it and the overgrown garden.
Access is via the Chemin des Longs, which starts at 31 rue de la République.
Join Déborah Claise from Aux Pieds des Murs, a company recently awarded the "Petits patrimoines naturels" label by the Île-de-France region, to discover the history of fruit trees trellised on the walls of Thomery.
A passionate winegrower, she will take you through the process of replanting vines. And because Chasselas isn't just a table grape, she'll also be tasting Chasselas wine with La Cave By Thomery!
Self-guided tour.
Thomery circuit
Explore this village of character, famous for its Chasselas de Thomery grape, highly prized by the King of France's court, and its vineyard walls, listed as historic monuments.
Salomon Gardens
Lasting around 1h30, this tour provides an overview and understanding of the great history of Thomery's chasselas, a crop that has sustained the commune for over two centuries and made it internationally renowned.
Course
Meet in the Jardins Salomon, where vineyard walls are still trellised with grapes, just as the old winegrowers used to do.
Next, discover the recently renovated greenhouses before entering the building known as the "Fruitier Salomon", which has a very special history and contains one of Thomery's last grape chambers, where the fresh-stalked white gold was kept.
The tour is led by volunteers from the Confrérie Saint-Vincent and Thomery town council.
Discover one of Thomery's last fruit trees (20-30 min).
This building, which doesn't look like much from the outside, was the site of the first experiment in cold preservation.
Today, you can still visit the grape chambers where Chasselas grapes were preserved using a revolutionary method!
Port of Thomery
Aucun événement annoncé à ce jour, le programme est mis à jour en fonction des annonces officielles.
Prioress of Thomery
Push open the gates of the former Prieuré de Thomery, a long unoccupied building now home to the first housing facility for vulnerable adults designed by Maison des Cultures.
Awarded the "Petits patrimoines naturels" label by the Ile-de-France region, the gardens are part of a restoration project that respects the site's biodiversity and history, through a participative worksite approach.
Come and visit the workshops and gardens, and discover the social, architectural and landscaping project developed on this site, which is exceptionally open.
