The Heritage Days

Created in 1984 by the French Ministry of Culture, they offer a unique opportunity to discover the region’s exceptional places and sites.

The Heritage Days are coming to the Ile de Ré!

Every year in September, it’s a not-to-be-missed event!

The Communauté de Communes and all the players in the local area will be taking part in the European Heritage Days to offer you a programme packed with discoveries!

Theme of the 2024 Heritage Days :

Heritage routes, networks and connections
Maritime heritage

Abbaye Des Chateliers Aerien Jules Serrurier

In 2024 it will be the 41ᵉ J.E.P.

To mark the occasion, the maritime heritage of the Ré region is being honoured with a number of events, including visits to fish locks. Did you know that, at the beginning of the last century, there were over a hundred fish locks around Ré and that fewer than twenty remain today? Find out more about their history and why they have such a unique heritage character on one of the organised outings!

And don’t miss the latest edition of the immersive game inspired by the famous Cluedo®, devised and performed by teams from the Communauté de communes.

This year, they’ll be helping you to discover the island’s former hospital through a detective story full of twists and turns…
