The Richelieu site is the historic home of the National Library of France and its exceptional collections. It was originally the palace of Cardinal Mazarin, built in the 17th century. In 1721, the King's library moved there. In September 2022, it will reopen its doors after twelve years of renovation and modernisation work, becoming a place open to all in the heart of Paris.
