Discover this historical heritage in the company of an archaeological mediator. Bring comfortable shoes and a hat!
With the archaeosite mediators
Enjoy an exhibition recounting the archaeological excavations carried out prior to the construction of new sports facilities: the Prisme in Bobigny and the Annette-Kellermann aquatic center in La Courneuve. Discover the work of archaeologists from the Département de la Seine-Saint-Denis and the remains they have unearthed.
With archaeologists or mediators from the Cultural Heritage Service of the Département de la Seine-Saint-Denis.

Bonnie Parker, Elisabeth Casteret, Arégonde... discover the women who left their mark on their time: women of knowledge, adventurers, artists... thanks to a card game in the style of the 7 families.
An international team of prehistorians discover four skulls at the bottom of a cave. One of them belongs to a hybrid individual, a mix of Neanderthal and Sapiens. How did our ancestors end up there? Who were they? While the scientists battle it out with their hypotheses, the situation shifts to the distant past, when black-skinned Sapiens, a migrant from Africa, rubbed shoulders with white-skinned Neanderthal... where he and she met... and fell in love!
Scour the Parc de la Haute-Île to discover the hidden beacons near the park's remarkable heritage sites, answer the questions, take up the challenges and cross the finish line as quickly as possible!
The meeting point will be indicated by a flag. It will be located after the bridge crossing the Chelles canal at the entrance to the park.

Guided tour of the exhibition devoted to Constance Pascal, France's first alienist physician, who interned at the Ville-Evrard nursing home from 1905 to 1909 and ended her career at Maison Blanche.
A tireless researcher, she wrote some 50 articles, 3 books and popular articles in the national press....experimenter in treatment research and creator of the first IMP in a secular structure.
Humanized the wards where she worked, abolishing corporal punishment...introduced free service in the IMP...trained nurses...
Collection of testimonies with audio and photo recording. Participants will build a kind of memory map of the Maison Blanche site, interacting and resonating with the testimonies. To do this, they bring along an object that evokes the former asylum or psychiatric hospital of Maison de Blanche: a photo, a text, an everyday object, etc.
- "Photobooth" workshop at Maison Blanche
In this open photobooth, we capture fragments of memory of Maison Blanche. In front of a vintage Polaroid lens, participants are invited to pose with their souvenir object. In the background, the former pavilions of Maison Blanche.
The unique, instantaneous prints are displayed on a large panel throughout the JEP, weaving together the memory of a place of care and life.
- Asile fragments recording studio
In this ephemeral studio, participants, still seated in the setting of Maison Blanche, come to tell the story of their chosen object. In a short format, in just a few minutes, a filmed narration bears witness to an experience linked to the site.
