Created at the time of the French Revolution, the National Archives are responsible for collecting, preserving and promoting the State's central archives. Nearly 300 linear kilometers of archives, from the 7th century to the present day, are preserved here. Today, they are located at three sites: Fontainebleau, Paris and Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, the latter having been opened to the public in January 2013. The Pierrefitte-sur-Seine site, designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas, is dedicated to archives dating from after the French Revolution, and houses almost 180 linear kilometers of public and private archives accessible in the reading room.

As for the event itself, this 40th edition of the Journées du Patrimoine is an opportunity to discover the history of numerous museums, institutions and establishments in France.
