The Journées du Patrimoine is a not-to-be-missed event for enthusiasts and the curious. Every year in September, this European cultural event invites you to discover our heritage in a whole new way, through a rich program of events. As usual, Paris and the whole of the Île-de-France region answer the call! So, for the next edition, scheduled for the weekend of September 21 and 22, get ready for a wide-ranging program of visits, often free of charge, and brand-new events! For the occasion, museums, monuments, castles and many other cultural sites open their doors to reveal their heritage treasures. Whether you're on your own, with friends, as a couple or with the family, there's something for everyone at the Journées du Patrimoine.
Whether you live in Hauts-de-Seine or you'd like to discover this département, the Journées du Patrimoine are also an opportunity to discover a lesser-known heritage. So, for this event in the Paris region, we're taking you to the town of Vanves, just outside Paris, where a number of visits await you. Find out more about the program here.

Heritage Days 2024 at the Hôtel de Ville - Salle Henry Darien in Vanves
Two lyric singers and a guitarist reinvent the Baroque repertoire with the electrosonic and psychedelic sounds of synthesizer and guitar.
Chouchane Djergaian, Ophélie Julien-Laferrière and Guillaume de Barros form an unusual new ensemble that aims to offer a fusion of Baroque and electro music. The two singers infuse electro and psychedelic sounds, accompanied by the haunting notes of synthesizer and guitar. Carried by their varied origins, blending Armenian, Portuguese and Italian influences, Chouchane and Ophélie offer an intimate and sensitive program, blending the most beautiful pieces by Monteverdi, Purcell and Handel with the lively rhythms of Mediterranean folk music and the bewitching melodies of the Middle East.
Resistance and Liberation" memorial trail
This trail, proposed by the Archives municipales in collaboration with the Association des Généalogistes de Vanves, will evoke the tragic fate of the Resistance fighters whose names are inscribed on Vanves streets. It will also remind us that the Lycée Michelet, occupied by the Nazis for 4 years, counted many Resistance fighters among its former students, and that the name of the carrefour de l'Insurrection refers to the fighting of August 1944.
Heritage Days 2024 at the Sainte-Bathilde priory in Vanves
A modernist, Dom Bellot uses the technical means of his time (brick, concrete, metal frameworks) in the service of a design that draws its strength from the study and meditation of monastic architectural traditions.
His spare, rigorous and inventive art invites us to travel to the heart of the mystery of beauty and the mystery of the soul. This is also why Dom Bellot is an unrivalled master of the arrangement of light.
Self-guided tour with the opportunity to meet the sisters: church, cloister, chapter house, garden (weather permitting).
At the end of the tour, Sunday vespers sung by the community at 6.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.
The bookshop will be exceptionally open during the monastery's visiting hours.
Slideshow to illustrate the priory's architecture and enhance your visit.
