The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) are the perfect opportunity to take advantage of some great cultural offers. This not-to-be-missed event takes place every year on the 3rd weekend of September. To mark the occasion, many public and private sites open their doors to us, offering a program of often free visits, unusual events and exceptional openings. From must-see museums to hidden monuments, churches, castles, ministries, embassies and major institutions, in Paris and the Ile-de-France region, each edition is accompanied by a wide-ranging program enabling us to explore the treasures of our heritage in depth.
And Hauts-de-Seine is no exception. The 92 département to the west of the French capital is a keen participant in the Journées du patrimoine (Heritage Days), showcasing its historical and artistic nuggets. In the town of Issy-les-Moulineaux, the Domaine de la Reine Margot in turn invites us to enjoy a special program for this 41st edition scheduled for the weekend of September 21 and 22, 2024. And if you'd like to explore more of Issy-les-Moulineaux's nuggets of art, the town also offers a number of tours of its monuments .
Guided tours of the gardens and a neo-Gothic chapel (30mn) followed by a recorder recital by Bertrand Lemonnier: medieval, Renaissance and Baroque tunes.
Workshops including a vegetable garden discovery, a mixology workshop and a cocktail tasting are also offered by the Domaine following the guided tours. A participation fee is charged.
For the Heritage Days, Domaine Reine Margot - MGallery Collection invites you to discover a site steeped in history.
Queen Marguerite de Valois resided at the Domaine in the early 17th century. In 1606, she was the first great aristocrat to settle in Issy as her country residence. Later, the Domaine served as a retreat for the Sulpicians for three centuries. Today, it has been refurbished by Jean-Michel Wilmotte into a prestigious five-star hotel in the MGallery collection (Accor group).
Discover the Domaine Reine Margot, a place steeped in history where royal splendor and religious charm meet. During your visit, you can admire the 17th-century building and the neo-Gothic chapel dating from 1846, while exploring the vast 5,000 m² kitchen garden and the garden with its breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower.
Take advantage of free one-hour guided tours, led by lecturers from the Issy-les-Moulineaux tourist office, to delve into the Domaine's captivating past while immersing yourself in its luxurious and historic setting.
