Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris, Municipal library in Marais district, Paris, France
The Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris occupies the Hôtel de Lamoignon, a Renaissance building at 24 rue Pavée in the 4th arrondissement.
Following the destruction of the city library in 1871, Jules Cousin's bequest initiated the creation of this dedicated historical institution in 1872.
The library maintains one million books, 21,000 manuscripts, maps, and photographs documenting the evolution of Paris and the Île-de-France region.
Researchers and visitors can access the library from Tuesday to Saturday between 10 AM and 6 PM to study extensive collections about Paris history.
The building features Corinthian pilasters and 16th-century dormers, representing early applications of exceptional architectural orders in Parisian construction.
