The GoodPlanet Foundation is taking part in the 41st Journées du Patrimoine, on September 21 and 22, 2024, with a rich and varied program that should delight the whole family.

Every year, the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days ) give us the opportunity to discover or rediscover historic, artistic or unusual places close to home. This year, this European cultural event takes place on September 21 and 22, 2024, in Paris and throughout the Île-de-France region!

This is your chance to conquer the GoodPlanet Foundation. Created by Yann Arthus-Bertrand in 2005, the foundation's aim is "to place ecology at the heart of people's consciences and to arouse the desire to take concrete action for the earth and its inhabitants ". The Foundation therefore supports various projects, and tries to attract the attention of the general public through numerous events organized throughout the year.

And what better opportunity than the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days ) to make itself known to Parisians? The Foundation, located in the Bois de Boulogne, in the 16th arrondissement, is organizing several events during this open weekend. Combining art, culture and ecology, the GoodPlanet Foundation is offering a range of original, fun and educational events open to all.

    Ten years after "Home", Yann Arthus-Bertrand returns with " Legacy ", a powerful cry from the heart. In it, he shares a sensitive and radical vision of our world, which he has seen deteriorate over the course of a generation, and reveals a planet in pain, a bewildered humanity incapable of taking seriously the threat to itself and all living beings. For the director, the situation is urgent: everyone can and must take strong action for the planet and our children's future...

    Far from being banal, these animals are just as wild and spectacular as those found in more exotic lands. Mammals, insects, birds, batrachians... I offer you a personal exploration of Parisian wildlife, to show that nature is everywhere, and all you have to do is keep your eyes open!"

  • Minuit Soleil concert
    Sunday, September 22, 4:30 p.m.

    Discover the music of Minuit Soleil, from their incredible "Artistes en Arctique" residency in Greenland and their album due for release this autumn. This incantatory, hope-filled pop, a blend of storytelling and song, takes us on a journey through Inuit mythology, reminding us that light is always at the end of the night.
    Singer Roxane Terramorsi (Les Franglaises, Une Artiste en Arctique...) and guitarist Nicolas Gardel (Heida Bjorg, Angelina Wismes) have teamed up to write the French lyrics and compositions for the brand-new Minuit Soleil project, with an album due for release this autumn. Roxane's voice transports us into a heady, crystalline chiaroscuro, delicately accompanied by Nicolas' guitars.
    The songs, punctuated by storytelling lyrics, are like a journey through Inuit mythology, ice floes and night, giving the whole the shimmer and energy of a personal, incantatory and luminous pop. It's a balance of ice and fire that artist duo Roxane et Nicolas bring to this concert. It's Midnight Sun.
