Go behind the scenes of a movie theater, stroll in the footsteps of actors or directors in Paris... Cinema is also in the spotlight during Heritage Days: film enthusiasts will have the chance to explore many iconic cinema venues across Paris. During these 43rd Heritage Days, held on Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20, 2026, discover the region’s treasures and their exclusive programs!
This year, Heritage Days centers on two themes: the heritage of photography and heritage at risk. Artists, local players, but also the safeguarding of works and memory: each institution can interpret these themes in its own way, to better tell its story and spotlight those who keep heritage alive.
Take advantage of this event to visit these venues for free or at a reduced cost, and enjoy a unique experience in some of the capital's most emblematic locations.
