Every year, the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days ) kick off the new cultural season with an unmissable opportunity to discover France's most beautiful treasures. This year, the date is set for the weekend of September 21 and 22, 2024. Numerous museums, monuments, châteaux and other cultural sites in Paris and the Paris region will be opening their doors to you free of charge, offering a wide range of events, guided tours and exhibitions.
Whether you're a family member, a friend, a couple or on your own, this major cultural event is a must. And with good reason: there's something for everyone! In 2024, the focus is on two unifying themes: " Heritage of routes, networks and connections " and " Maritime heritage ".
In 2024, there are a number of new features on the program, but the must-sees are still there. You can visit emblematic sites such as the Palais de l'Élysée, ministries, theInstitut de France and the Sainte-Chapelle, which are often inaccessible outside these days.
This year, we invite you to explore new sites. History buffs can look forward to in-depth guided tours of historic monuments, while those curious about contemporary architecture will be delighted to discover recent buildings that contribute to the region's dynamism. The emphasis is also on natural heritage, with exceptional gardens and parks to visit, such as the Parc de Saint-Cloud or the Jardins Albert-Kahn.
The 2024 program also promises to be festive, with participatory workshops, art exhibitions and free open-air concerts. You can also sign up for urban walks to discover Paris's secret neighborhoods. Several routes are proposed in the Marais, Montmartre and Belleville, to explore the history and anecdotes of these places steeped in memory.
Of course, it's impossible to visit all these places in just two days. We recommend that you identify the themes that interest you most and consult the corresponding pages regularly to plan your visit!
