A label from the French Ministry of Culture

What is the

“Landmark Houses” label?

The Landmark Houses label was created on September 13, 2011. Through this distinction, the French Ministry of Culture wishes to highlight places whose vocation is to preserve and pass on the memory of men and women who have distinguished themselves in the political, scientific, social and cultural history of France.

The Guide

of the Landmark Houses

A first national guide was published by Editions du patrimoine in spring 2017 and reissued in 2018, including new labelled houses.

This book is available in bookshops and most Landmark Houses, or can be ordered from Editions du Patrimoine.
