The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) take place on the weekend of September 21 and 22, 2024! These privileged moments, celebrated throughout France, offer everyone an unrivalled chance to explore historic sites and exceptional monuments, and to go behind the scenes of places that are often closed to the public. The magic will happen once again in 2024, promising unique and memorable experiences. And in Auvers-sur-Oise, in the Val-dOise region of France, we're pulling out all the stops to celebrate the town's artistic heritage!

Auvers-sur-Oise isn't just a village, it's a nugget of history! Nestled in the heart of the Oise Valley, it has been a source of inspiration for many artists, including none other than Vincent Van Gogh. Its picturesque lanes, luminous fields and historic buildings tell the story of centuries of history, art and culture. Walking through its grounds, you feel the perfect fusion of past and present, with every stone and every painting whispering tales of bygone days.

It's a great opportunity to explore iconic sites such as Van Gogh's house or the Château d'Auvers, but also to plunge into the heart of an effervescent artistic atmosphere. Passionate and knowledgeable local guides will take you on a journey through time, bringing to life the era of the great masters of painting. So, are you ready for the Auvers-sur-Oise Heritage Days?

    A listed historic monument, Daubigny's Maison-Atelier was also awarded the "Maison des Illustres" label in November 2014.
    Come and discover this still-fresh place, where good cheer once reigned when Charles François Daubigny received his friends and pupils, Corot, Daumier, Oudinot, Geoffroy-Dechaume, Léonide Bourges ...
    They spent many a gloomy day decorating the house and his studio. As a result, no less than 200 m² of paintings cover the walls of this simple residence, but one that does not leave art lovers indifferent.
    This Maison-Atelier was the first artistic home in Auvers-sur-Oise.

    According to its visitors, it is the most authentic artistic site in Auvers-sur-Oise.
