Journées Européennes du Patrimoine dans les Climats - Patrimoine mondial

The European Heritage Days are returning in 2025 to celebrate their 42nd edition on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September. This exceptional event, which attracts millions of visitors every year, highlights the wealth of cultural, historical and architectural heritage in France and across Europe. For two days, emblematic monuments, unusual places and even state institutions open their doors to the public, often free of charge. It's the perfect opportunity to discover the hidden treasures of our history and plunge into a captivating journey through time.

There is a long list of places to visit: famous historic monuments, exceptional estates, more confidential sites... As well as guided tours, there are numerous exhibitions, conferences, etc. The JEP take place over two days at the weekend, and visits are either free or at a reduced rate.

THE PROGRAMME
SATURDAY 20 SEPTEMBER 2025
Meet the Copiaus
The Copiaus, a village troupe founded 100 years ago, is renowned for bringing together the world of theatre and that of the winegrowers. To celebrate this anniversary, this weekend is an opportunity to rediscover the village of Pernand, its streets and its history through a mini Copiaus festival: shows, a cabaret evening, impromptu performances, visits to the renovation site of the Maison Copeau... and, on Saturday, a meeting with the Association des Climats with two landscape immersions at 2.30pm and 4.30pm.
