Ce dimanche
4 October 2026 falls on a first Sunday of the month: at Fontainebleau, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Écouen and Sceaux, visiting the collections will be free of charge that day. Four very different monuments — a royal palace, an archaeology museum, a Renaissance museum, and a château-museum set within a Le Nôtre-designed estate — for a day out without a ticket, provided you choose your monument wisely based on the time and your mood.
