For this 41st edition of the Journées du Patrimoine, this emblematic monument on the Place de la Concorde will be opening its doors to you on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd September 2024. And we might as well tell you straight away, but you're in for an eyeful as you discover this monument in the days of the Garde-meuble de la Couronne, or the Al Thani Collection, which brings together a number of masterpieces from Antiquity to the present day. Visits to theHôtel de la Marine are also an opportunity to admire the sumptuous state rooms and enjoy an exceptional, unobstructed view of the Place de la Concorde from the loggia.
Created in the 18th century by Ange-Jacques Gabriel, the King's first architect, theHôtel de la Marine housed the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne until 1798, when it became the headquarters of the Ministry and then the Naval Staff for over two hundred years.
To mark the 41st European Heritage Days, the Hôtel de la Marine will be opening its doors free of charge on Saturday September 21 and Sunday September 22.
This is an opportunity to discover or rediscover the monument's two self-guided tours:
The "Appartements des intendants au son du Confident" (Intendants' apartments to the sound of the "Confident") tour, available by reservation, allows you to explore the 18th-century apartments of the Intendants of the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne, as well as the salons d'apparat and the loggia.
The Salons and Loggia tour, with free admission subject to availability, takes you through the 19th-century salons d'apparat and the loggia of the Hôtel de la Marine, the balcony from which history was made and from which you can enjoy a unique view of Paris.
TO BE DISCOVERED DURING HERITAGE DAYS
At the same time, the public can take advantage of this weekend to admire two works created especially for the Hôtel de la Marine as part of Paris Design Week.
In the Cour d'Honneur, the Uchronia collective will present an XXL bed combining tiles and passementerie, in reference to the beds in the intendants' apartments.
In the Cour de l'intendant, designer and cabinetmaker Pierre Renart will present a monumental piece of wooden furniture combining aestheticism and technicality.
