\"Sapeur<\/a><\/p>\n

This year’s Journ\u00e9es du Patrimoine<\/a><\/strong> Web site is easy to use if you speak French. Instructions follow below. The alternatives to helping you decide where to go first are a visit to the culture office, newspapers, download applications or copy pages off the Internet.<\/p>\n

If you have children with you, check the Web site Citizenkid<\/a><\/strong> (Use Google Translate) to read their suggestions for children six and up. The photo is at the Caserne S\u00e9vign\u00e9 fire station (H\u00f4tel Bouthillier-de-Chavigny, 9 Rue De S\u00e9vign\u00e9 Paris 4th).<\/p>\n

Culture Minster’s Office<\/strong>
\nVisit the Minist\u00e8re de la Culture<\/a><\/strong> beginning the third week of August to find out information about the current Journ\u00e9es du Patrimoine in Paris. (3 Rue de Valois, 75001 Paris, Metro: Palais Royal or Mus\u00e9e du Louvre). Beginning in September, they will have a multi-page listing of the venues. On the minister’s pages, translate the French into English<\/strong> in the lower left side bar column.<\/p>\n

Newspapers<\/strong>
\nCheck the Thursday newspapers “Aujourd’hui<\/a><\/strong>“. “Le Parisien<\/a><\/strong>” or L’Etudiant<\/a><\/strong>” the weekend before the event for a hard copy of the addresses and times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go on line and use the search keywords “journees du patrimoine” for these newspapers every year. Chances are they will have a listing of patrimony openings in Paris (by arrondissement) and in France. You choose the “Ile-de-France”, “Paris 75” and then an “arrondissement number”.<\/p>\n

Enlarge the map or scroll down for the list of open venues in that arrondissement. Choose one, for the days and times and a history.<\/p>\n

Le Parisien has an application “LeParisien.sortie” to download on either iTunes or Samsung.<\/p>\n

Alternative Online Information<\/strong>
\nTwo other alternatives for help in finding information: (1) the iPhone and smartphone application “Patrimap<\/strong>” and (2) a sense of adventure.<\/p>\n

The Download<\/strong>
\nDownloading the “Patrimap” is the easiest way to search for the story behind Paris patrimony anytime. The app is available on iTunes and for other smartphone downloads. On the iPhone\/iTunes, it is located in the “Travel” section in English.<\/p>\n

Once you open the application, “Patrimap” your top choice is “Nearby”. The app will read your location and list the venues in your vicinity and a short description about the place. It does not list the hours. It is useful even when it is not time for Journ\u00e9es du Patrimoine.<\/p>\n

While in Paris, use the nearest park for a WiFi<\/a><\/strong> connection to avoid roaming charges or download an application to find Hotspots.<\/p>\n

More Online Adventure<\/strong>
\nOn the JEP Web site<\/a><\/strong>se the thematic patrimony search engine (Recherche th\u00e9matique<\/em>)\u00a0<\/strong>. You want some place where waiting in line will not take all day.<\/p>\n

Instructions to use JEP Web site<\/strong>
\nIn the left menu block “Rechercher par<\/em><\/strong>“, choose Ile-de-France and Paris.<\/p>\n

In the right menu block “Affiner la recherche<\/em><\/strong>“, try these search criteria:
\n“Gratuit<\/strong><\/em>“, “ouverture exceptionnelle<\/strong><\/em>” (not usually open) “premi\u00e8re ouverture<\/strong><\/em>” (open for the first time)<\/p>\n

Under “animations sp\u00e9cifiques<\/strong><\/em>“, check “visite du lieu<\/strong><\/em>” (visiting the place) and “circuit<\/strong><\/em>” (the route).<\/p>\n

The page that opens has a list places with the words “Paris” and the number of the arrondissement: “10\u00e8me” means 10th arrondissement.<\/p>\n

Choose the words to the right “void la fiche<\/strong><\/em>“, which opens a page with the photo, the address, telephone number, Web site address and a brief description.<\/p>\n

Once on this page, you can continue to the next patrimony (suivant<\/strong><\/em>) or return to the list (retour \u00e0 la list<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n

This year, just enjoy the openings if you do not understand or read French. Michelin is working in partnership with these heritage days (journ\u00e9es du patrimoines<\/strong><\/em>). If you attempt to use Google Translate to read the descriptions in English on the Web, you are taken to the Michelin Web site in English, which has absolutely nothing to do with your current description.<\/p>\n

During September the Mairie de Paris<\/strong> has a page in English for 2011 with a few highlighted suggestions. Download their helpful application for your smartphone. They have strolls around Paris, itineraries, and other guides available in English. Perhaps next year they will add the exact address and hours of each place open for the patrimony days.<\/p>\n
