What to do for the Journées du Patrimoine 2023 in Paris? Every year in September, this cultural event, which takes place all over Europe, invites us to enjoy a weekend of discovery through visits that are often free and enriched byoriginal activities. For the occasion, cultural venues open their doors to you, as well as some spots usually closed to the public.
And there's no question of the Paris region missing out! The City of Light is brimming with monuments, museums and unusual places to discover. From the most emblematic spots to the most mysterious, the capital reveals all its secrets over the course of a weekend. So much so that it's hard to know where to turn! So, to help you find your way around, on September 16 and 17, 2023, we invite you to experience the Journées du Patrimoine through one of Paris's trendiest districts: the Marais.
To make sure you don't miss out on any of the 2023 JEP program in Paris' Marais district, keep this page safe and consult it regularly between now and D-day to get organized!
