Every back-to-school season has its share of resolutions, but how about a break from the daily grind this year? For one weekend only, the European Heritage Days are back, blowing a wind of curiosity and wonder across Europe. The principle is simple: two days to discover the emblematic, hidden or little-known places that make heritage tick. Museums, secret gardens , majestic townhouses and confidential sites open their doors to you free of charge. A festival of history, culture and architecture at your fingertips - or rather, your feet.

Attention to epicureans seeking a place that goes beyond the glass! Head to Davron, in the Yvelines, where the Domaine de La Bouche du Roi features proudly on the JEP 2026 program. Nestled in the Plaine de Versailles, on lands that once belonged to a royal hunting estate, this organic vineyard spanning 26 hectares and just 30 km from Paris is redefining the wine culture of Île-de-France. A true tribute to the art of living in the Yvelines and to the wine that flowed at the Sun King’s court, the estate brings back to life a heritage that is as gastronomic as it is cultural. Did you know that at one time, Île-de-France was France’s largest vineyard? Today, La Bouche du Roi restores the local terroir with a modern, committed, 100% organic approach. As a bonus, a portion of the production is vinified… at the Eiffel Tower!
