At the Rosa Bonheur Castle, a musical program slated for the 2026 Heritage Days!

It's back—the standout September highlight you won't want to miss. The Journées du Patrimoine return to Paris and in Île-de-France on 19 and 20 September 2026. This annual cultural event opens the doors to thousands of venues across the region, often for free. Museums, monuments, castles, ministries, churches, department stores, train stations, workshops, gardens and sports venues host activities and guided strolls, inviting us to discover their histories and distinctive features.

This great celebration of culture allows us to better appreciate the treasures to be found close to home, sometimes without us even knowing it! So, don't miss the Journées du Patrimoine in Île-de-France.
