Would you like to take part in a guided tour and learn more about Montmartre and the surrounding area? Then take part in these Heritage Days guided tours, on September 21 and 22, 2024.

Established in 1984 by Jack Lang, the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) aim to highlight the richness, diversity and eccentricity of the cultural jewels that surround us. During this special weekend, numerous sites open their doors to the public, enabling us to share these beauties and our common history with as many people as possible.

The Journées du Patrimoine are also an opportunity to shine the spotlight on little-known places. In Paris and the Ile-de-France region, there are many hidden gems , sometimes right under our noses! That's why a number of cultural players are committed to helping us (re)discover our city's neighborhoods. Thought you knew everything about Montmartre? Prepare to be surprised...

On September 21 and 22, 2024, the café littéraire Le Petit Ney will be offering free strolls through the streets of the Montmartre district. The café, located on avenue de la Porte Montparnasse, symbolizes the festive and artistic spirit of this small corner of Paris: local residents take it in turns to run this cultural and friendly venue, for the enjoyment of all.

For the Journées du Patrimoine, the café is offering guided tours, revealing the secret stories behind the buildings that surround us... Reservations are strongly recommended for these guided tours, so don't delay!
