Instituto Cervantes, Cultural center in 8th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Instituto Cervantes occupies a private mansion from 1885 at 7 rue Quentin Bauchart, featuring preserved historic elements including a monumental staircase and former ballroom.
The building served as the seat of the Basque government in exile from 1937 to 1940 and from 1945 to 1951, with Franco's police force occupying it between 1940 and 1944.
The Octavio Paz Library within the Instituto Cervantes contains an extensive collection of Spanish literature and serves as a central resource for cultural research.
Following a seven-year renovation completed in 2022, the center provides Spanish language courses across multiple proficiency levels and maintains regular cultural programming.
The building contains architectural elements classified as historic monuments, including the original facade and reading room from its 19th-century construction.
