The Court of Auditors opens the doors to its special collections of historical works and archives
During the visit of the Palais Cambon, discover the library and unique collections: works from the Moinot collection gathered in the circle of magistrates (private works of magistrates), heritage collection located in the Galerie Philippe Séguin.
The Documentation Department invites you to discover its most beautiful archive pieces (including some letters from Napoleon, founder of the Court of Auditors by the law of 16 September 1807) and answer your questions about their professions and their missions within the Court of Auditors.
Faithful to the European Heritage Days, the Court of Auditors reopens its doors on 16 and 17 September.
The tour, free and signposted, will allow you to discover this institution, created by Napoleon 1st, and whose missions have continued to evolve to be constantly at the service of citizens.
The course will be lined with stands, presentations and videos that will allow you to discover the origins of the Court, its missions, its organization and its work. Court staff will be present to answer all your questions. An audio guide to download for free on your smartphone will accompany you during your visit.
Meetings with the magistrates will also be offered during the two days during the presentation of reports of the Court in «180 seconds», as well as on Sunday afternoon with the First President during a citizen dialogue.
Children are not forgotten: a «playbook» will guide them in the discovery of the Cambon Palace. They can also participate in coloring a giant fresco.
In addition, the Court of Auditors offers to enrich your visit on Saturdays by attending one of the performances of a show on the theme of public finances by the association La Cour des Contes.
