The Soul of Paris, a free exhibition for the 2026 Heritage Days, awaits you in the 14th arrondissement on September 19, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

To mark the European Heritage Days 2026, L’Âme de Paris sets up at L’Atelier des Rêves in the 14th arrondissement, on Saturday, September 19, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Free admission and no booking required, this exhibition blends photography, illustrations, paintings and poetry to tell the memory of Parisian heritage.

Through a storytelling itinerary, the exhibition explores what endures in Parisian heritage and what is transforming. The project is led by Les Œuvres d’Eos and Laura Rucinska, a painter, illustrator and poet, who crafts this narrative at the crossroads of poetry, photography and illustration.

Guided by poetry, visitors discover photographs of modern Paris, with special attention to the 14th arrondissement, alongside illustrations that trace the evolution of heritage from past to present. Paintings round out the experience, inviting readers to see heritage not as a static backdrop but as a living memory to be passed on.

Two experiences shape the program: the storytelling and poetic itinerary, featuring works by Eos and verses by Laura Rucinska, and the guided tour Meeting the stones of Paris, led by Pauline Cabrol, a cultural expert. Offered at 11:00, 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, this roughly one-hour stroll highlights the architecture of the Alésia-Montsouris district, its artists, artisans, and the stone trades. This accompanying tour costs €10 per person and requires a reservation.
