The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days ) are one of those not-to-be-missed events that punctuate the Parisian cultural calendar. Every year in September, this major event invites enthusiasts and the curious to take advantage of a surprising and enriching cultural program. Museums, monuments, castles, churches, gardens and even places usually closed to the public , such as ministries, all play their part in the Journées du Patrimoine. One after the other, we're offered tours - often free of charge - as well as original events for young and old alike.
Paris has a fabulous program for this exceptional weekend, but the rest of the region also has plenty to surprise you. If you're in the Hauts-de-Seine region or would like to explore the department of 92, why not visit the town of Sèvres? Accessible by public transport, this town has a lot to offer, which you can discover during the 41st edition of the Journées du Patrimoine. We take a look at the tours and events planned for the weekend of September 21 and 22, 2024.

Heritage Days 2024 at the Maison des Jardies in Sèvres
Join us for a 45-minute guided tour of the Maison des Jardies in Sèvres!
Accompanied by a guide, discover the Maison des Jardies. Originally a simple winegrower's dwelling, in the 19th century it attracted a number of personalities who left their mark on the site. Honoré de Balzac became the owner in 1837. The objects, works of art and documents on display help us to understand why the writer settled here and developed a variety of projects.
Then, in 1878, it was Léon Gambetta's turn to live at Les Jardies. The politician did not enjoy this haven of peace for long, however, dying in his home after an injury in 1882. The tour retraces his origins, his career, his commitment to the Republic and the resulting Gambetta cult.
Please note: booking essential, places are limited.
Take a self-guided tour of the Maison des Jardies in Sèvres!
Visit the Maison des Jardies on your own, with the help of tour aids. Stroll through the house and garden at your own pace, following in the footsteps of two major figures in 19th-century French history: writer Honoré de Balzac and politician Léon Gambetta.
The former moved to Les Jardies in 1837 to develop a real estate project, before the bailiffs caught up with him! The latter bought the property in 1878 to rest from an exhausting parliamentary life, but an accidental injury took his life four years later. Objects, works of art and documents punctuate the visit and retrace the destiny of these great men.
Please note: capacity inside the house is limited, so you may have to wait a short time before entering.
