Heritage Days 2024: visit the Ecole normale supérieure de Paris - SOLD OUT

TheEcole normale supérieure is one of France's most selective and prestigious higher education establishments. There are four écoles normales supérieures in France: one in Paris, one in Paris-Saclay, one in Lyon and one in Rennes. These public universities specialize in the humanities and sciences.

TheEcole normale supérieure (or Normale Sup', as it is often called) was founded during the French Revolution, but its current, modern form didn't emerge until 1826.

The Paris campus, located in the Latin Quarter, opens its doors to us by reservation on September 21 and 22, 2024, to mark the new edition of the Journées du Patrimoine.

This annual cultural event allows the general public to discover and visit numerous historical and artistic sites: it's an original and enjoyable way to get to know the country, its institutions and its curiosities. Churches, ministries, schools, museums, castles, department stores, workshops, monuments: the richness of France's regions is revealed in every stone!
