In Bordeaux, stop by the Château de Malleret. Take an electric bike tour in Marseille. Sign up for a guided tour of Fort Frère – Fort Grossherzog von Baden in Strasbourg. In many chapels and cathedrals all across the country, you’ll be able to hear live music concerts.

There are events all over the country and all kinds of opportunities to get into the most beautiful, usually off-limits buildings. Peruse the complete list of events here.
