In conjunction with the “European Heritage Days”, Plaisirs de culture offers a series of activities to promote and enhance the heritage and cultural traditions of the Aosta Valley region.

A rich and varied calendar invites you to discover, or re-discover, numerous archaeological sites, cultural heritage, museums and collections distributed throughout the region, some of which are normally closed to the public or subject to work and research.

During the whole period, tickets to lot of exhibitions, castles and cultural sites are free or reduced.

An excellent opportunity not only to appreciate a precious heritage, but also to enjoy the splendor of late summer in the Aosta Valley mountains.
