From 15 to 16 September 2023

The European Heritage Days are an unmissable event for history, art and culture enthusiasts. This is an opportunity to discover places that are usually closed, to take part in guided tours, workshops and events, and to learn more about our heritage. This year, the 40th edition of the European Heritage Days will take place on September 16 and 17. The theme of this edition is "living heritage", which highlights know-how and cultural traditions. We unveil the program for the weekend in Bourges & its surroundings!
