The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days ) are one of the must-see cultural events on the Parisian calendar. Every year in September, this Europe-wide event takes over the capital and the surrounding region. Over the course of an exceptional weekend, the region's most cult, secret and little-known venues open their doors to reveal what goes on behind the scenes. Get out your diary: the next event is scheduled for September 21 and 22, 2024.
Heritage is honored in all its guises, whether through visits to monuments and cultural sites, exceptional openings, gourmet outings or meetings with artisans. Each year, a number of spots take part in the game, unveiling an attractive program of visits, events and workshops for young and old, often free of charge or not at all expensive!
For this 41st edition of the Journées du Patrimoine in Paris, what would you say to exploring an astonishing and fascinating place in the capital? In 1859, in the east of the capital, the Viaduc de Paris was one of the key crossings of the petite ceinture, the capital's former railroad line. Today, it's possible to walk along the top of the Viaduc on the coulée verte. Under the 62 arches that make up the Viaduc des Arts, you'll find several boutiques and workshops. Enthusiasts and the curious can come and meet the nearly forty artisans who can be found here.
