The European Heritage Days are an annual event held on the third weekend of September, giving the general public the chance to discover some of Europe's finest historical, architectural and cultural heritage. Initiated in France in 1984 as the "Journées portes ouvertes dans les monuments historiques", the event is now celebrated in some 50 European countries. They offer a unique opportunity to visit sites that are usually closed to the public, and to attend lectures, guided tours and other events, all with the common aim of making culture and heritage accessible to all.
In Paris, the European Heritage Days are a not-to-be-missed event for history and culture lovers. The capital opens the doors of many prestigious monuments, such as the Élysée Palace, the National Assembly and the Senate, giving visitors a behind-the-scenes look at these institutions. It's also an opportunity to showcase lesser-known places, the city's hidden treasures, unknown to the general public.
The Société archéologique de Rambouillet, located in the Yvelines département, plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting local heritage. Founded in 1966, this association brings together history and archaeology enthusiasts dedicated to researching, safeguarding and promoting the historical heritage of Rambouillet and the surrounding area. The Society regularly organizes conferences, exhibitions and excursions to raise public awareness of the importance of the region's archaeological and historical heritage. Its members also take part in archaeological digs and monument restoration, thus actively contributing to the preservation of local heritage.
At the SHARY, you'll discover a number of independent games that will help you learn more about Rambouillet's coat of arms, while discovering one of the SHARY's treasures: its banner.
