Journées du Patrimoine 2023: a bucolic stroll in Paris's Parc Montsouris

Located on the Left Bank of Paris, in the 14th arrondissement, Parc Montsouris is one of the best-known and most popular green spaces for Parisians in search of greenery. With its century-old trees, vast lawns, lake, play areas and sports facilities, you'd think you'd know every inch of this park by now... Then let us surprise you!

On September 16 and 17, 2023, to mark the 40th Journées du Patrimoine, Parc Montsouris is inviting curious visitors and strollers to take part in special guided tours, entirely free of charge! Take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about this green setting created at the end of the 19th century, which has seen many episodes in the history of France and Paris...

Discover, learn and admire - that's the aim of the Journées du Patrimoine, a European cultural event held every September. This major event gives us the chance to visit places that tell the story of a town, a region, to appreciate all the heritage treasures that are close to home, sometimes without us even knowing it.
