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 September 21 and Sunday September 22, 2024, 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 skills.

For the Journées du Patrimoine 2024 in Paris, the capital's monuments and historic landmarks are opening their doors (often free of charge) to let us in on their secrets. Don't miss this not-to-be-missed event, scheduled for September 21 and 22, 2024! [Read more]
While some visits to museums and major institutions are a must, other events are more unusual. A case in point is Gare de l'Est, Paris. Alongside the Gare Montparnasse, Gare de Lyon, Gare du Nord, Gare d'Austerlitz and Gare Saint-Lazare, the Gare de l'Est is one of the six largest terminal stations in the SNCF network in Paris. Dating from 1849 and located in the capital's 10th arrondissement, Gare de l'Est was designed by architect François-Alexandre Duquesney and engineer Pierre Cabanel de Sermet.
This weekend, September 21 and 22, 2024, the Gare de l'Est is unveiling its new transport hub: to mark the 41st Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days), the station is offering a number of unusual tours to discover hidden and secret corners...
Concert by a harmony orchestra of cheerful, varied music.
For the enjoyment of young and old alike, we invite you to visit the 800m-long model train layout under the Gare de l'Est in Paris, divided into 3 layouts of 3 different scales (HO, O and Im).
Beautiful Heritage Days in Paris!
