European Heritage Days

This post was written by Christine Bonhomme

The 17th and 18th September, discover all over Normandy (and all over France), the public and private heritage of France. This year’s theme : Heritage and citizenship.

Held in September each year, EHDs events – often called Heritage Open Days – take place in the 50 countries party to the European Cultural Convention. During this time, doors are opened to numerous monuments and sites, allowing Europe’s citizens to enjoy free visits and learn about their shared cultural heritage and encouraging them to become actively involved in the safeguard and enhancement of this heritage for present and future generations.
