European Heritage Days (JEP)
Visitors can discover various heritage treasures and enjoy a free, documented tour retracing the singular history of this establishment, which will be renovated in 2019. Several architectural features, including the floor mosaics, the monumental staircase and the moldings and medallions in the historic salons, have received the "Heritage of Regional Interest" label from the Île-de-France Region in 2020.
The Inalco, also known as "Langues O'", today offers unique expertise in languages and societies drawn from centuries of experience. No institution, no country, offers such a diversity of courses, openness and wealth of knowledge. The institution is a key player in the promotion and preservation of the world's languages and civilizations.
The previous edition
For the 2023 edition, Inalco was awarded the Cultural Olympiad label by Paris 2024 thanks to the activities for the general public proposed during the event and responding to the themes "Living Heritage" and "Heritage of Sport".
Languages O' and the Hôtel de Bernage
A lecture given by Emmanuel Lozerand, Inalco's History Officer.
While Langues O' has not always been located on rue de Lille, this building plays a very special role in our history. This talk will recall the circumstances in which the school took possession of the premises in 1873, explain how the building was transformed on this occasion, and finally show how it has enabled the development of our institution.
Student association activities
Inalco has also proposed free activities in line with the 2023 theme "Heritage of Sport" and included in the program of the Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad:
- Paper-cut workshop and traditional Chinese games with the Chin'alco association
- K-pop dance performance by the Bureau des arts (BDE Inalco)
