The Centre des monuments nationaux is a French public institution under the Ministry of Culture and Communication. It preserves, restores, manages, and opens to visitors nearly 100 state-owned monuments across the country, showcasing the breadth of France's heritage. Its portfolio includes major sites such as the Arc de Triomphe, Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey, Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, and the Carnac alignments. Operating within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, CMN acts as a nationwide steward of public heritage with a diverse workforce across many professions. It emphasizes inclusive practices and has earned recognized labels for diversity and gender equality; a recent development involves a partnership with Excurio to present The Last Stronghold - Carcassonne, 1304, now staged in Paris, Lyon, and Bordeaux.
