A quick reminder of the European Heritage Days
The European Heritage Days (JEP) are annual national and international events taking place in over fifty countries, based on the model of the “Open House Days for Historic Monuments” initiated by the Ministry of Culture under Jack Lang on September 23rd, 1984.
The aim of these days is to show as many people as possible the richness of our national heritage through original events and visits of numerous buildings, museums and sites, some of which are only exceptionally open to the public on these dates.
These local events take place every year from the end of August to the beginning of November.This year’s theme is:
The heritage of routes, networks and connections and maritime heritage
