Journees du Européennes Patrimoine

 

This past weekend was the annual big event in France in September. Journees du Europeanees Patrimoine, when many private and public institutions, including the Elysées Palais (you must reserve way in advance for the Elysees) open their doors to public viewing.

On Sunday I went to Garde Républicaine, 5 minutes from my house, on boulevard Henri IV. They did not require reservations. Attendees dress accordingly like this woman in red jacket and navy pants to co-ordinate with the garde.
