The Thiers library, Paris (France)

“This beautiful library is located in the old apartment of Adolphe Thiers, in one of the nicest neighbourhoods in Paris. It’s contents are devoted to the history of France, particularly that of the nineteenth century, with 160,000 books and 30,000 comics, some of which date back to the Revolution. Unfortunately the library isn’t open to the public unless you’re a research student and if you are one of the few fortunate enough to hold a card to this library, enjoy.”
