For these Journées du Patrimoine 2023, the Essonne department is highlighting its exceptional sites, which bear witness to a rich and fascinating history. Join us on the weekend of September 16 and 17, 2023 to discover all these magnificent sites, many of which are open free of charge.
This département, one of the largest in the Paris region, boasts no fewer than 76 listed monuments, 193 buildings listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques and 21 gardens protected as Monuments Historiques!
Free visits, workshops, events, walks, discoveries, secrets revealed, shows... The events organized during the Journées du Patrimoine can take many forms! It's worth noting that this European and cultural event is very special: for one weekend, the most beautiful heritage sites in our region open their doors to us for free or at a reduced cost. You can even visit places that are usually closed to the public. That's why we always look forward to the Journées!
During this exceptional weekend, guided tours, walks and workshops will reveal the secrets of Essonne, with a focus on heritage and education.
