It's never too late to let yourself carried away by a tale, thinking you are a knight, fighting dragons and making magic. Especially when the place of this reading is a monument marked by a strong historical capital, where architecture is already very close to the myths. It is this very intense and interior experience that the Centre of the national monuments proposes you to experience for the seventh consecutive year.

Tales and stories is an event that has already proven its fairy-like potential. During the full holiday season, ten of the most impressive or the most inhabited historic buildings of Paris and its area welcome inside them storytellers, guides, animators and artists. Just like genuine machines for going back in time, the Conciergerie, the Pantheon, the Saint-Denis Basilica and the Castle of Vincennes open for readings, workshops, performances, games and tours.
