The Journées Européennes des Métiers d'Art (European Crafts Days) is an annual event that showcases craftspeople and their skills at events open to the public. Architecture, fashion, gardens, woodworking, stonework, jewelry, glass and crystal, restoration, graphic design: over 280 trades are honored for their importance in preserving France's tangible and intangible heritage.
The Château de Fontainebleau, one of the jewels of the Seine-et-Marne region , is also home to craftsmen who work to preserve and maintain it. From the gardens to the roof, in every room of the château, down to the smallest gilding, highly skilled professionals are responsible for preserving the château, and its history through it.
The royal residence is therefore taking part in the 2025 edition of the Journées des Métiers d'Art, to pay tribute to its craftsmen, and give the public the chance to meet those who look after the château. On Saturday, April 5, 2025, a free event is planned for the curious.
And for even more discoveries and encounters in the world of heritage, take a look at our selection of outings for the Journées des Métiers d'Art 2025.
