On 19 and 20 September 2026, the European Heritage Days offer visitors the unique opportunity to explore historic buildings and remarkable landmarks that are often closed to the public. Thanks to its exceptional architectural heritage, the Haut-Marais is one of the most fascinating districts to discover during this annual event. Staying at Paris France Hôtel places you within walking distance of many of these remarkable sites.
A Historic Neighbourhood at Every Corner
The Haut-Marais is home to elegant mansions, hidden courtyards, historic gardens and beautifully preserved streets dating back several centuries. During the European Heritage Days, many of these landmarks welcome visitors through guided tours and exceptional openings.
Walking through the neighbourhood becomes a journey into the history of Paris, revealing architectural gems that are rarely accessible throughout the rest of the year.
Major Heritage Sites Within Walking Distance
From Paris France Hôtel, guests can easily reach Place des Vosges, Hôtel de Sully, Musée Carnavalet, Maison Victor Hugo and many of the Marais' magnificent private mansions, several of which host special tours and cultural events during the weekend.
Nearby, the historic MIJE Youth Hostels, housed within three remarkable hôtels particuliers, also offer guided visits showcasing the rich history of these exceptional buildings.
A Different Way to Experience Paris
One of the greatest attractions of the European Heritage Days is the opportunity to discover places that are normally inaccessible. Private residences, cultural institutions, artisan workshops and historic buildings open their doors, offering visitors a unique glimpse behind the scenes.
Throughout the Haut-Marais, every street can reveal a hidden courtyard, a remarkable staircase or a beautifully preserved architectural detail.
Enjoy the Marais Beyond the Visits
Between heritage tours, visitors can enjoy the lively cafés of Rue de Bretagne, browse the independent boutiques of Rue Vieille-du-Temple or stroll towards the Seine and the Hôtel de Ville, which also hosts special European Heritage Days events.
