Created in 1984 by the French Ministry of Culture, the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) have become a not-to-be-missed event for lovers of history and heritage. Every year, the event gives the general public the chance to discover monuments, historic sites and institutions that are usually closed or subject to admission fees, free of charge. In Paris and throughout France, these days are an opportunity to immerse yourself in the country's history through guided tours,exhibitions andevents. They take place every year on the third weekend in September, offering a great opportunity to (re)discover France's cultural treasures.
For the2024 edition, many emblematic venues in Paris and the Île-de-France region will be opening their doors. These include the Pantheon, the Sainte-Chapelle and theOpéra Garnier in Paris. In the Île-de-France region, visitors can explore the Château de Versailles, the Basilique Saint-Denis and the Domaine de Rambouillet. The program also includes themed tours, children's workshops and conferences, so there's something for everyone.
Among the gems to be discovered during the Journées du Patrimoine 2024, the Château de Rambouillet is a destination not to be missed. Located on the edge of the Rambouillet forest, the château has been the residence of numerous French sovereigns and presidents. With its formal gardens, the estate has been designed in the style of an English park, punctuated by ponds, with beautiful garden nuggets such as the Laiterie de la Reine and the Chaumière aux coquillages.
