On the occasion of the JEP (European Heritage Days) this weekend, the Tourist Office offers you its guide of specially selected activities. This aims to show the plurality and diversity of the riches of our territory which will vibrate with you during this event.
Friday September 17 and Saturday September 18: music, heritage, dance and painting on the program
First stop on your tour, Luzarches. We are expecting many of you from Friday September 17 at 20:30 p.m. at Saint Côme et Saint Damien church. You will be able to listen to the concert of the saxophone quintet of the Republican Guard. All the details are to be found here.
The next day, meet at 10 a.m. in Écouen at the Place de l'Eglise Saint-Acceul. Indeed, the square of the church will host several old trades. You will discover the profession of sharpener-grinder, upholsterer, mattress maker, restorer of old books. Learn about basketry and bobbin lace! Likewise, you will be able to admire in the same place more than thirty beautiful old cars on display!
A few meters from the square, you can sail to other activities at the Manoir des Tourelles, where our Tourist Office is located. Thus, you will be able to enjoy a live demonstration of painters and a workshop for children “discovering Van Gogh and Picasso”. For that, go to the garden of the Manor. On the square, the day will be dancing! Between traditional peasant dances and court dances, you will travel through time.
Then, go to Roissy-en-France to follow the theatrical hike at 14, 15 or 16 p.m. To do this, we will meet you at the Cultural Center of the orangery. If you wish, a few kilometers from Le Mesnil-Amelot, you can also enjoy a guided tour of the Saint Martin church and its remarkable historic organ from 14:30 p.m. to 17 p.m. The meeting point is fixed in front of the church. Finally, meet in the evening at the same place at 19:30 p.m. to dance and sing to the rhythm of the talented choir Black Harmony Gospel Singers which offers you a unique concert.
