Heritage Days 2025: Discover Paris in a Different Light from Hôtel Marais Bastille

Every September, Paris transforms into a vast open-air museum for the European Heritage Days. On September 20 and 21, iconic monuments, public institutions, and sites usually closed to the public will unveil their secrets, offering visitors a unique opportunity to dive into the history and cultural wealth of the capital.

Staying at Hôtel Marais Bastille, ideally located between Place de la Bastille and the Marais district, places you right at the heart of this must-see event.

A weekend to explore Parisian history and culture

The European Heritage Days are held every year on the third weekend of September. Over the course of two days, more than 17,000 sites across France open their doors free of charge, including hundreds in Paris. It’s the perfect occasion to rediscover prestigious landmarks such as the Palais de l’Élysée, the French Senate, the National Library of France, or the Opéra Garnier.
