Our take on this event

Step inside a hidden gem in the heart of the Marais, a sanctuary rarely open to the curious public. Join a sharp academic researcher for an intimate look at the enduring ideas of Ernest Renan in a setting that breathes history.

Explore the enduring legacy of Ernest Renan at a special lecture held within the Chapelle de l'Humanité on Tuesday, December 15, 2026. Hosted by CNRS researcher and history PhD Azélie Fayolle, this event offers a rare opportunity to step inside a historic Marais location that is typically closed to the general public. Designed for an audience aged 18 and over, the session runs from 18:30 to 20:30, providing a deep dive into historical discourse. Tickets range from 3 to 7 euros for this unique evening event in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement.

On Tuesday, December 15, 2026, you are invited to the Chapelle de l'Humanité at 5, rue Payenne, Paris, for a lecture exploring the relevance of Ernest Renan's work today. The session is led by Azélie Fayolle, a historian and researcher at the CNRS, who will guide attendees through an analysis of Renan's historical impact. The event takes place between 18:30 and 20:30.

This lecture is restricted to those aged 18 and older. Entry fees are set between 3 and 7 euros. The venue itself, located in the 3rd arrondissement, serves as a remarkable backdrop for this talk, as it is not usually accessible to visitors. It is an ideal setting for anyone interested in intellectual history seeking a distinctive cultural experience in one of Paris's best-kept secret spots.
