"Look up."
Operation Look up! initiated in 2019 by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of National Education and Youth continues this year.
During a day, teachers are invited to accompany their pupils in the discovery of heritage sites : from the simple building of their school to a listed historical monument, to the remarkable streets or houses of their commune or other more distant places. The heritage is of course the historical monuments, but it is also the vernacular heritagesometimes ignored or not considered enough: fountain, wash-house, bread oven, mill, lighthouse, old factory, well, cross at the turn of a road… So many different places and objects that, even when they seem modest, deserve to be explored because they allow us to experience beauty and are rich in teachings about the daily life of past generations.
Themes from previous years
In 1992, the Open day in historical monuments changes from one to two days, changes names and becomes the National Heritage Days. Since 1995, a general theme has been proposed highlighting one or more aspects of heritage.
