This is it! At last, the long-awaited return of the event that's so popular with fans of cultural nuggets, good deals and new experiences! The Journées du Patrimoine return to Paris and the Île-de-France region for their 41st edition, which promises to be full of wonderful discoveries. Every year, on the 3rd weekend of September, this flagship event in the Parisian cultural calendar invites us to discover our heritage in a new light, through an original and often free program. Each year, numerous monuments, castles, museums and private venues offer tours, events and workshops for the whole family. In the Paris region, the program is so vast that we can all find something to suit our passions.
The Journées du Patrimoine are one of the rare opportunities to discover the Crédit Municipal de Paris. Located in the heart of the City of Light, in the Marais, its origins date back to 1637, making it the oldest financial institution in Paris. Formerly known as the Mont-de-Piété, theHôtel particulier in which it is housed was built on the site of a former convent, itself founded on Philippe Auguste's former enceinte. Remains of both monuments can still be seen.
Come and enjoy guided tours to discover the history of Crédit Municipal de Paris (formerly Mont-de-Piété), which has existed since 1637 and has been located at 55 rue des Francs-Bourgeois since 1777!
