Heritage Days 2024 at the Ministry of the Economy and Finance - Bercy in Paris

The Ministry of the Economy and Finance often organizes tours of Bercy, all year round, to showcase its works of art as well as the building's architecture. And every year, the Journées du Patrimoine are also an opportunity to visit Bercy, the complex of buildings designed in 1989, notably by Paul Chemetov and Borja Huidobro.

The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days ) offer the most inquisitive and the most passionate visitors the chance to immerse themselves in France's heritage through guided or self-guided tours of must-see sites, museums, historic monuments, hidden or unusual places, parks and gardens.
