The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) is one of the not-to-be-missed events in September in Paris and the Île-de-France region. A real highlight on the cultural calendar, this not-to-be-missed event invites us to discover our heritage in a different way, by showcasing our finest treasures over the course of a weekend. Numerous venues are taking part, including museums, monuments, châteaux and gardens, as well as ministries, major institutions and embassies. They're all getting in on the act, revealing their secrets to you through a program that's often free of charge, featuring self-guided or guided tours,events and originalworkshops for young and old alike. As you can see, this is one cultural event you won't want to miss!
The whole Paris region is part of every edition! It's a great opportunity to explore the region's heritage, which is well worth the detour. A trip to Seine-et-Marne will convince you: the 77 département is brimming with heritage treasures that are still too little known. This time, we're taking you to Melun, to discover the program that awaits you in this city accessible by public transport for this 41st edition of the Journées du Patrimoine!
