Journées du Patrimoine 2023 in Paris: discover the miniature networks under the Gare de l'Est railway station

Every autumn, many French people look forward to a cultural event. I'm talking about the European Heritage Days. Taking place this year on Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, 2023, these Heritage Days are an opportunity to discover an original or innovative aspect of our heritage, and to enter places that are usually closed to the general public.

Created in 1984 by the French Ministry of Culture, the European Heritage Days offer a wide range of free events, including guided tours and demonstrations of traditional skills.
