The European Heritage Days are back on Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, 2023. Once again this year, a host of visits and events await us in the châteaux of the Île-de-France region, historic monuments, churches, secret places and major institutions.
These great institutions are places we regularly hear about in the news, but which seem beyond the reach of ordinary citizens. And yet, for one weekend, these key places in our Republic open their doors to us!
Among them, of course, is theHôtel de Matignon and its incredible garden, located in the 7th arrondissement. The building, built by architect Jean Courtonne in 1722 at the request of the Prince de Tingry, will be open to visitors on September 16 and 17, 2023, during the 40th Journées du Patrimoine.
Discover a private mansion rich in history and culture, and its two-hectare garden, designed by Claude Desgot, André Le Nôtre's great nephew. Since 1935, the Hôtel de Matignon has been the official residence and workplace of the head of the French government. Today, Elisabeth Borne occupies this private mansion, which has played host to many notable figures in French history.
To discover all the secrets of this historic building, take part in the tours organized during these Heritage Days, and admire the Cour d'Honneur, the Prime Minister's office, the first floor salons and the garden. Here's the detailed program:
Tours are free of charge, and only available with registration. Reserve your time now!
