As you'll have gathered, these very special events offer a wealth of discoveries!

These Journées des métiers d'art (or JEMA) give us free access to over 500 events in Paris and the Île-de-France region. And among them, appointments with craftspeople at the Louvre Museum and the Tuileries Gardens !
