The Journées du Patrimoine, scheduled for September 21 and 22, 2024, is a not-to-be-missed event for all lovers of history and culture. Each year, this exceptional weekend enables the general public to discover emblematic sites, often closed to the public the rest of the year. It's also a unique opportunity to delve into the history of France through its monuments and institutions. Among this year's not-to-be-missed sites, the Maison Saint-Sulpice in Paris opens its doors to you for an original visit.
Located in the heart of Paris's 6th arrondissement, the Maison Saint-Sulpice is a place steeped in history. This former seminary, built in the 17th century, played a central role in the training of Parisian clergy. With its elegant architecture and vast gardens, the Maison Saint-Sulpice is a real jewel hidden in the middle of the capital. This historic building, originally designed to train the priests of the Saint-Sulpice parish, is also a living testimony to the religious and cultural influence of the period. Today, the Maison continues to shine through its spiritual and cultural activities, while preserving its charm of yesteryear.
During the Journées du Patrimoine, the Maison Saint-Sulpice invites you to discover its fascinating history and spaces usually closed to the public. It's a rare opportunity to stroll through its history-filled corridors, admire its period architecture and works of art, and explore its peaceful gardens. Visitors can also learn more about the Maison's current missions and its spiritual heritage.
