The National Library of France can be described as a millionaire – not financially, but in terms of their collection. With a collection purportedly amounting to a count of 15 million, virtually any topic can be comprehensively researched here. Due to the large volume of books and other printed items, the library is divided into four locations – the François-Mitterrand Library, the Richelieu Library, the Arsenal Library and the Opéra Library.

All except the Opéra Library offer guided tours, so that you may learn more about the place and the respective buildings that the materials are housed in. A Reader's card pass can be purchased to give you access to reading rooms, exhibitions, concerts and even shows at the library.
