The Journées du Patrimoine return on the weekend of September 20 and 21, 2025, for their 42nd edition. Paris and the Île-de-France region are answering the call, and we're expecting a vast program of visits and activities at the heart of monuments of all kinds.
From museums and castles to churches, libraries, fashion temples and even hospitals, this is your chance to explore heritage from every angle. Unmissable monuments and little-known spots get in on the action, and you can even enjoy exceptional visits to places usually closed to the public , including ministries, embassies and major institutions. As you can see, this is one of the must-see events in the Paris region.
The Val d'Oise département is not going to miss out! In all four corners of the 95 region, numerous communes are getting in on the act, showcasing their respective historical and artistic heritages through a wide range of visits and monuments. The town of Gonesse , for example, invites us to explore its rich history through a wide-ranging program at the heart of its treasures.

Salle Jacques Brel
Gonesse is located in the Paris catchment area, in its urban unit and in its catchment area. This is how the town is presented on Wikipedia. This definition could apply to any Paris suburb of Gonesse's size. The aim of the exhibition "D'une lieue de ban à la banlieue, une histoire des relations entre Paris et Gonesse" is to show how, throughout history, our town has exploited its strategic position in relation to the capital's defense, the ingenuity of its inhabitants - drapers and bakers - and its natural resources, to compete on an almost equal footing with Paris. This was true from the Middle Ages to the dawn of the 19th century. From then on, with the arrival of the railway station and the industrial revolution, the town was transformed into the suburban city it is today. This corresponds to the current meaning of the word suburb: directly dependent on the city and living in osmosis with it. This is the story we invite you to discover.
The play Éloigné.e.s, created by Compagnie DK-BEL, explores with sensitivity and poetry the relationship between Paris and Gonesse through the prism of history, memory and lived experience. Based on research carried out with the archives department of the city of Gonesse, the show explores what it means to grow up, live or arrive in the "banlieue", a space both close to and far from the capital. Between geographical remoteness, symbolic distance and immigration, Éloignés gives a voice to those who sometimes feel on the bangs, whether of the city-center or their homeland. Enriched by an exhibition and extended by a convivial moment, this artistic and human project invites the public to forge links, cross narratives and reinterrogate the visible or invisible borders that cross us.
