Every year, the Heritage Days celebrate cultural heritage in all its facets. In 2026, they will be held on September 19 and 20, offering the general public open tours, activities, exhibitions and performances across the town of Sarcelles. The event invites visitors to discover emblematic sites around the area, all accessible and often free.
The Musée naval de Sarcelles, located at 27 boulevard du Général-de-Gaulle, is a real local treasure, inaugurated in 1993 by theAmicale des Anciens Marins de Sarcelles et sa région. The museum retraces the history of the French navy, from the time of Colbert to the present day, through almost 150 m² of objects, models, photos, engravings, books and navigational items. During these days, free guided tours are offered to plunge into the heart of this fascinating maritime adventure.
Visiting the Musée naval de Sarcelles during the Journées du Patrimoine means diving enthusiastically into France’s naval history. The range of displays—models, engravings, a recreated cockpit—allows you to journey across centuries and oceans while raising awareness of a memory often overlooked. Best of all, admission is free, and the museum is easily reachable, just 15 km from Paris, near the A1 motorway and the Sarcelles‑Saint‑Brice station (about 300 m on foot). It’s a chance to discover a place rich in meaning and shared experience, ideal for history buffs and curious minds of all ages.
Guided tour of the Naval Museum
The Naval Museum of Sarcelles is a facility founded by the Association of Former Sailors of Sarcelles-Garges, a 1901 law group established in 1969. In 1993 it found a home in a 150-square-metre building provided by the Sarcelles Town Hall, with all branches of the sea represented—from the Royal Navy to the French Navy, fishing, commerce, and pleasure boating.
Four centuries of history—from 1626 to the present—are presented here through scale models, photographs, paintings, texts and a variety of navigational artefacts, plus a library of books and documents on the navy, the sea and its seafarers.
Come and discover the lives of these brave men, the hard, demanding toil of fishermen and sailors, and the splendor and pomp of prestigious passenger liners.
The museum sits about 200 metres from the Sarcelles-Saint Brice RER station and is roughly 15 kilometres from Paris, accessible via the A1 and the N16.
