View historical collections and visit a famous library
Visit the Richelieu site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Located centrally in Paris, it serves as a public cultural and historical venue. Originally constructed in the 17th century as the palace of Cardinal Mazarin, it became home to the King's Library in 1721. Following a 12-year renovation completed in 2022, the site reopened, providing accessible spaces and holding various temporary exhibitions.
