A word
from the founders

Patrivia was created to take part in the digital transition, to enhance the value of our territories’ heritage, to promote culture for the greatest number of people and to facilitate the life of venue managers. 

The incubator allows us to accelerate on certain points, by allowing us to take a step back and challenge our strategy thanks to the experts and mentors of the Dauphine network.

A little bit
of history

Patrivia offers online booking solutions for monuments, castles, museums, remarkable sites and gardens open to the public. Whether these places are open on an exceptional or permanent basis or for one-off events, for free or paying visits, for individuals, groups or booking centres. 

Patrivia was born out of a simple observation: no dematerialised ticketing service is offered to the 85 million tourists who come to discover France’s exceptional heritage every year. 99% of historic monuments open to the public do not have an online reservation system, while 30% of tourist purchases are made over the Internet in Europe. 

Patrivia allows everyone to find a cultural site nearby by geolocating themselves, to keep up to date with its programme with an interactive calendar, and to book and buy tickets in a few clicks. 

Patrivia gives site owners and managers complete freedom by offering an innovative system of commission on sales that is 100% variable, without any commitment or financial risk. 

Our mindset?

Patrivia was created in 2016 and mobilises a team of 5 young heritage enthusiasts. Always moved by old stones, never tired of discovering new authentic sites and driven by the passion to share the taste of aesthetics and history, the founders of Patrivia want to commit to the preservation of heritage, help the digital transition of the sector and facilitate access to culture for all. Since November 2016, more than 170 monuments are already present on the platform. To accelerate its growth, Patrivia has just raised 235,000€.
