On Sunday, January 18th, 2026, the archives of the Paris City Historical Library will animate a unique celebration of playful heritage. This winter event transforms the study rooms into a space of conviviality where young and old alike can rediscover traditional board games and amusements. Going beyond mere distraction, this day brings to life the wealth of historical collections under an interactive and warm perspective. It is the perfect occasion to meet with friends or family to brave the cold and share moments of closeness at the heart of a historically rich place. Free access allows everyone to get acquainted with ancestral practices or rediscover classics, bringing back the spirit of celebration that once animated Parisian salons.
