What it is
European Heritage Days open museums, monuments and normally restricted buildings across Paris. Access and reservation conditions vary by venue.
What to expect
The strongest draw is access that is not available on an ordinary museum day. Popular buildings may require advance booking even when entry is free.
Getting there
Choose one area after the official programme is released. Travelling across Paris between limited-entry buildings usually reduces the number of visits.
