This event is presented each year from the angle of the theme given by the European institution, which has the advantage of presenting new knowledge and orderly in their presentation and breaking the repetition, therefore monotony, from one year to another. .

The Atelier du Patrimoine Marignanais works to dissociate culture and boredom. An association that sometimes still lingers in the minds of the public. For this, these European Heritage Days, combine the different pages of our history with the contemporary mores of our city of Marignane, thus allowing us to design this event in a spirit of conviviality, fun, spectacular, but also historical, cultural and scientific in order to to open this event to as many people as possible.
