Guided Tours

Individual visitors

© Collège de France, Patrick Imbert

Come discover the Collège de France with a guide from the Grand Palais Rmn.

These tours are designed for anyone interested in exploring the premises and learning about the history of the Collège de France. They will provide access to areas not normally open to the public and will focus both on the physical heritage and history of the Collège de France’s buildings—spanning from the Gallo-Roman period to the present day—and on its intangible heritage, that of the generations of distinguished scholars who have succeeded one another there, and the “place of memory” it has become. The tour will also shed light on the institution’s current operations and its essential role within the French research system.
