Bibliothèque Nationale de France Richelieu
2nd arrondissement, Paris
"Formerly the Royal French libraries, now a library, gallery, museum, and garden. Noted for its huge domed ceilings and tributes to European thinkers."
One of a few Bibliothèque Nationale de France locations in Paris, the BNF Richelieu is our guide’s personal favorite. One of the many attractions includes an expansive reading room with over 20,000 books & comics. Another is the Vivienne Garden, which features plants used to make paper for books. It is the original location of the 4 Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris and offers permanent and temporary exhibits.
