The European Heritage Days are an annual event, initiated in 1984 by the French Ministry of Culture and extended to the whole of Europe in 1991. Held every year on the third weekend in September, they offer the general public the chance to discover historical and cultural sites that are often inaccessible during the rest of the year. During these days, visitors can explore monuments, museums, gardens, castles, archives, artists' homes and other exceptional heritage sites. Where to go?
In Paris, the European Heritage Days are particularly rich and varied: from the Élysée Palace to the Senate, from the Banque de France to the various ministries, there are a great many sites exceptionally open during this great weekend dedicated to culture.
In Provins, a medieval town in the Seine-et-Marne département, the European Heritage Days take on a special dimension, with a visit to the historic town and a tour of the archaeological excavation site. Provins, famous for its medieval remains listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is taking this opportunity to highlight its rich historical past.
The excavation site, exceptionally open to the public on September 20 and 21, 2025, gives visitors the chance to slip into the shoes of archaeologists and discover how they work in the field through activities and events.
