7 bookstores, libraries and literary landmarks in Paris for bibliophiles to bookmark - SilverKris

"France’s oldest public library, born from Cardinal Mazarin’s 17th-century collection, delivers a quintessential 'dark academia' atmosphere: wood-panelled galleries stacked floor to ceiling with books, Roman marble busts watching over readers and an aura of history (and creaky floors) that recalls its origins as a private ministerial library later opened to the public." - Olivia Ho

Enjoyed spending the afternoon working here. They were quite polite and the library was actually quiet even though it was full. At the entrance you’ll have to tell them you’re coming to work in the library. Then go through the courtyard, up stairs you’ll find the library. Then check in at the second desk. It’s free to visit for the first 5 sequential days and then there is a 15 € annual fee They’ll give you WiFi password and mat to put your laptop on.

It's a good place for reading or studying, quite , well organized, clean and beautiful, it's free for 5 days then you have to pay for a yearly membership and it's completely worth it, * you should bring your ID with you for the first time * they accept payment by check * great WiFi connection * Electric socket for every chair

One of the most ancient libraries in Paris near Pont des Arts. Unfortunately it is prohibited to take photos inside but inside of the library was so beautiful and calm. You can find many ancient books of centuries ago. Visiting inside the library is free of charge, but if you wish to stay inside and read books you must become a member. I wish it could open a bit longer of the evening but still highly recommend to visit and stay in this lovely place. There are not too many people inside and very quiet, peaceful place.

Amazingly beautiful public library from 17th century. Absolutely open, you can use it for study or work, there's wifi and plugs. Access is free on the first five days or you can buy a 1-year pass for €15. Staff is very kind.

Absolute joy to sit and work in a library that’s been around since the 1600s. Silent, great WiFi, visitors can come to see, but to work one needs a subscription.

Cross the river Seine through Pont Des Arts. You will find this massive architecture. Originally created by Cardinal Mazarin as his personal library in the 17th century, it today has one of the richest collections of rare books and manuscripts in France, and is the oldest public library in the country.
