On September 19th and 20th, 2015 the European Heritage Days are back for their 32nd year. For two days numerous museums, châteaux and parks will be free. This year's days are part of COP21 and the theme is "The heritage of the 21st century, a story of the future". Among other things, this year's Heritage Days look at what the beginning of our century will leave for future generations, especially with regard to the environment. In the 16th arrondissement as well as Green Hotels Paris, the Eiffel Trocadero and the Gavarni, lots of cultural venues are offering activities for all the family.
