European Heritage Days
Born in France in 1984, at the initiative of the Ministry of Culture, the first open days in historical monuments quickly met with success, and then became the European Heritage Days.
More than 12 million visitors to France last year discovered or rediscovered places that are increasingly varied and numerous: more than 16,000 last year, including 3,000 that were opened on an exceptional basis.
In 1992, the French Open Days were also exported internationally. Everywhere the principle is the same: to open to the public places usually not accessible, or to make rediscover, by means of animations or guided tours, museums and historical monuments. Today, this event takes place in more than fifty countries around the world, and offers millions of visitors the opportunity to discover a rich and vibrant cultural heritage.
