On the third weekend in September, Paris and the whole of the Île-de-France region take part in the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days). Every year, this exceptional annual event is eagerly awaited by history buffs, art lovers and curious onlookers looking for cultural bargains and new discoveries.
Over the course of a weekend, museums, monuments, châteaux and private venues such as ministries and embassies open their doors to you, offering you a program specially designed for the occasion, often free of charge or not at all expensive. Free or guided tours, original events and workshops for the whole family- that's what's in store. Don't miss the next event on the weekend of September 21 and 22, 2024.
It's time to explore our heritage from every angle. And it's just the thing, because during the Journées du Patrimoine, even Parisian hospitals are getting in on the act, revealing their sometimes unsuspected treasures. For this 41st edition, you can conquer theHôpital Necker - Enfants Malades, located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. Founded in 1778, it is partly housed in the former convent of the Benedictine nuns Notre-Dame-de-Liesse.
