A truly architectural delightful space to focus & create in the heart of Paris !& the gardens also offer tranquil breaks & it’s free to use ( need a card to borrow etc ) a rich part of Paris history

The architecture is stunning, the whole atmosphere will definitely absorb you for at least an hour. It's a great place for studying, the are computers free to use with internet connections. But the place is very crowded as you see in the videos so you gotta get there early to secure s spot. And it closes kinda early for a national library so you won't get as much hours of studying as you need.
At the left there is a dispenser if you need to buy drinks or light snacks just before the toilets area.

Amazing bibliothèque, well worth a visit if you are near Burren columns. Free entrance. Don’t forget to check out the two rooms ;)

The library/study areas are really surreal to experience. Very detailed ceilings, and some amazing architecture.
Having not done a huge amount of research into it, it is a little confusing. It's not really a walk in and off you go sort of place. You cam get in for free, but need tickets to go up to the museum and other parts. But look into that and I'm sure it'll be great.

Amazing place, worth visiting! The main hall is impressive, nice atmosphere. The employees are very friendly. They greet you in English and can explain everything. You can enter and walk around for free. We really enjoyed it.

A great place. The spectacular reading room is free to visit and the museum is housed in an amazing building, an old palais.
Definitely worth a visit.

Bookworm paradise!
Never have I ever seen architecture that matches the mastery of literature. This has done that.
It brought me to tears.
There are many beautiful experiences to be had in Paris, but this is now on top of the list!
