Why not take advantage of the Journées du Patrimoine to discover the Hôtel de Matignon and its sumptuous garden, on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September 2023? Sign up for a free, exceptional tour of the Prime Minister's offices.

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.
