On the occasion of the European Heritage Days 2018, on September the 15th, the Pasts in the Present cluster of excellence proposes 2 urban circuits to discover the history of the university of Nanterre and its surroundings.

Urban circuit 1 – Nanterre's campus then and now

 The itinerary retraces the construction of different buildings and emblematic scenes of the 1968 student and worker protests that erupted there and it offers testimonies of quotidian life at the university’s beginnings.

Departure : Campus of the university, in front of the building B (RER A, stop Nanterre-Université)
 

Hours 10AM-12AM

Urban circuit 2 – Sous la faculté, un camp d'aviation ! From the university to the Natalys factory, passing by the Seine

Circus, farm, student ministry, on one side, new gardens and the Parc du Chemin de l’Île on the side of the Seine, on the other, rendering more laughable a municipality still scarred by the industrial vestiges, where numerous cultural projects were hatched.

Departure: Campus of the university, in front of the building B (RER A, stop Nanterre-Université)
 

Hours 2PM-5PM

Free entrance.
