The European Heritage Days are an annual cultural event held throughout Europe in September. Initiated in 1984 by the French Ministry of Culture, these days aim to promote cultural heritage by giving the general public free access to monuments, historic sites, museums and other places that are usually closed or not easily accessible.
In Paris, the European Heritage Days offer a unique opportunity to discover the capital's hidden treasures. Numerous emblematic buildings, such as the Palais de l'Élysée, Hôtel de Ville, ministries and embassies, open their doors to the public. In addition to institutional sites, visitors can explore cultural and religious sites, and even modern buildings that bear witness to the city's architectural evolution, through guided tours. Exhibitions and events are also organized to enrich this cultural experience.
Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church, located in the 9ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, is an outstanding example of the neoclassical style. Built between 1823 and 1836 under the direction of architect Louis-Hippolyte Lebas, it is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Its architecture is inspired by ancient basilicas, with a facade adorned with Corinthian columns and an interior richly decorated with frescoes and marble. In addition to visits open to the public all year round, you can also take part in special workshops during the Heritage Days.
