Heritage Days on the French Riviera
September 19 and 20, 2009 are European Heritage Days. Every year at the end of September, many historical buildings open their secret doors to the public. And in France, over 12 million visitors trot through these doors on Heritage Days.
What's open to visit? In Paris, the Assemblée Nationale, the Hôtel de Ville, the Elysée Palace.
We knew Paris would offer tons of tasty heritage site visits, but what's on for the French Riviera?
The most popular spot for last year's Journée du Patrimoine on the French Riviera? The 18C Villa Arson in Nice for its reputed Arts school and its pretty Niçois hilltops views.
What else could I visit on the Côte d'Azur during these open days? Here's a full list of open visits for the 2009 Journées du Patrimoine across the Var and the Alpes Maritimes. See the "Voir la fiche" link for more info on individual offerings (in French).
Our piece of advice? Come early for the more interesting sites - entrance is free, lines are long.
