The Saint James Albany and Heritage Days

Do know what there is under the gilt of the Palais de l’Elysée? In the secret passages of the National Assembly?  No? Then come to Paris on September 17 and 18 for the 33rd European Heritage Days. Another Paris - hidden and secret - will open up to you. And why not start your offbeat exploration right at your vacation home in the French capital city? The Saint James Albany is an extraordinary monument. Discover its history...

Usually, when you visit Paris, a number of emblematic places aren’t open to the general public. Places of power, major institutions and spaces dedicated to special functions (television channels, train stations, the stock exchange, etc.) only open their doors on the famous European Heritage days, which are always very popular with the public.

Use this special weekend to explore Paris in a new way, starting with where you stay: the Saint James Albany. To think that the building, initially named the Hôtel de Foix in the late 17th century, still boasts the same two magnificent Louis XV façades! Imagine the receptions that the Duke of Noailles would give there, especially the one he organized for the wedding of one of his daughters to the Marquis de Lafayette in 1774. Then, picture Marie Antoinette, treading the same spots as you, back in 1779...
