Venues of every kind participate each edition to ensure the event appeals to all passions. Don’t miss the upcoming 43rd edition, set for the weekend of September 19–20, 2026.
It has to be said that in Paris, there is so much to see and do that it can be hard to navigate. In each arrondissement, you can enjoy Journées du Patrimoine and set out to conquer the must-see places and the lesser-known spots of the capital. The 17th arrondissement is no exception to the rule, and this Parisian district invites us to explore its heritage through a programming specially designed for the occasion.
We take a look at the exceptional tours and openings planned for this year! And stay tuned, as the page is updated with new announcements!
