Heritage Days 2025: visit Société Générale's historic central branch

In September, at the very beginning of autumn, a major event shakes up the country's cultural life: for one weekend, thousands of venues open their doors to the public. Visits, children's activities, concerts, shows and games are organized for the curious. The aim: to help visitors discover or rediscover thehistory and treasures of France's heritage.

The Journées du Patrimoine are the perfect time to visit some of the world's most important cultural sites, or to discover some of the most unusual and unsuspected places. Would you be tempted, for example, to visit a Parisian bank?
