Appartements en location à Paris : quartier Bibliothèque François Mitterrand

The area’s renaissance was heralded in the 1990s by the controversial Bibliothèque Nationale de France. The four glasses towers of the 2 billion National library of France -conceived as a “wonder of the modern world”- opened in 1995. It owns 13 million of € of books and printed matter collections. It was built by the French president François Mitterand in the 80ies. The national library contains around 12 million tomes stored on some 420km of shelves and can hold 2000 readers and 2000 researchers. Temporary exhibitions revolve around “the word”, focusing on everything from storytelling to bookbinding and French heroes. You can have a walk on the banks of the Seine and many cinemas and restaurants are surrounding the building.
