Paris and Île-de-France fire stations open their doors for free to aspiring firefighters on sunny days. Plan a visit on select Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year (depending on the station) for an immersive glimpse into the life of firefighters.
Every year, during the July 14th parade, the firefighters are the most acclaimed members of the crowd: everyday heroes, indispensable for saving lives or helping anyone in danger, the firefighters are also very much in the imagination of children, who often dream of becoming like them when they grow up. Every year, the fire departments of Paris and the Île-de-France region open their doors for a day to give young and old alike a behind-the-scenes look at a profession as dreamt of as it is perilous.
Come and meet the firefighters from your town, your district or the neighboring town during these open days, climb the firefighters' ladder "for real", watch the fire drill demonstrations... Children's activities are also on the agenda, although the program differs for each fire station.
Every weekend from May through June and from September through October, on Saturdays and Sundays, fire stations open their doors, each in turn: entry is free, open to all and no reservation is required. The little aspiring firefighters may head home with stars in their eyes, while for the older youngsters you’ll learn tout ce qui se passe lors d'une intervention, pendant une journée à la caserne... All that remains is to pick the station closest to you!
