🏛️✨ European Heritage Days 2026 at Micro-Folie Istres ✨🏛️

"Heritage in peril: revive, resist, reimagine"

📅 Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026

On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, your Micro-Folie Istres invites you to immerse yourself in the know-how of artist-craftsmen, those precious heritages which, to continue living, must be transmitted, evolve and reinvent themselves. 🎨

From the transmission of legacies to the rewriting of narratives, arts and crafts continue their shared history and open new perspectives between past, present and future.
