The Journées européennes de l’Archéologie Journées européennes de l’Archéologie, are back for the weekend of June 12-14, 2026 in Paris and the Île-de-France region. This family-friendly, hands-on event invites people of all ages to discover the fascinating world of archaeology, offering a glimpse into the careers, methods and discoveries that define the discipline.
Looking for a fantastic day out in Seine-et-Marne for the occasion? Then the Chelles Archaeological Museum, Alfred Borno, looks set to be one of the top spots to experience this special weekend. Here, we trace 300,000 years of human occupation, from the earliest prehistoric settlements to the medieval and modern eras.
The collections stem largely from excavations carried out across the municipality, allowing the town’s story to be told through its traces—everyday objects, sarcophagi, architectural fragments, and tangible remnants left by those who lived here long before us. It also bears the remarkable imprint of a Merovingian royal abbey, founded in the 7th century by Queen Bathilde.
