Every autumn, the Journées du Patrimoine, a not-to-be-missed cultural event, celebrates the architectural and historical wealth of our region. In Paris and beyond, they invite you to explore, free of charge, places that are often closed to the public: museums, private mansions, theatrical backstage areas or secret workshops. This year, the 42ᵉ edition takes place on September 20 and 21, 2025, with the theme "the heritage of itineraries, networks and connections". In Aubervilliers, things are lively: guided tours, exhibitions, escape games, children's workshops, concerts and readings await you at sites from yesterday and today.
The Fort d'Aubervilliers, a XIXᵉ century military relic built between 1843 and 1849 to defend the capital, perfectly embodies this link between past and present. This summer, the Archives municipales are offering the exhibition Temps forts - Histoire d'un site, from September 17 to October 17, with free and guided tours, video workshops and workshops, to immerse visitors in its 150 years of history: from military fort to Zingaro equestrian theater, via the German occupation of 1870 or the manufacture of gas during the First World War .
