Historical Library of the City of Paris — Attraction in Paris

I come here to study/do homework on my laptop. The public wifi from Paris has perfect signal inside the reading area. The tables have assigned numbers so you get a little square of space to work on. I recommend bringing a thin foldable bag to carry your things inside the room because you can’t bring in your laptop case or backpack, (or water bottle, sadly), so it would be messy if you carry what you need just with your arms. The chairs are comfortable enough. There are power sockets on the tables and lamps. Overall pretty good if you need to focus ;) UPDATE: no one had told me anything for bringing my own little fabric bag with my belongings, but beware of this really rude lady that might yell at you for this. Then they give you a noisy plastic bag that who knows how many people has touched and that I’m sure is not...

📚 The Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris is a public library specializing in the history of the city of Paris and the Île-de-France region. It is located in the Hôtel d’Angoulême Lamoignon, a historic building from the 16th century in the Marais district.

👍 I loved visiting this library, which has impressive collections of books, manuscripts, maps, photographs, drawings, prints, posters and postcards on various topics related to Paris, such as theater, literature and feminism. The staff is very friendly and professional, and the atmosphere is calm and cozy.

🌟 I give 5 stars to this library, which is a treasure for lovers of history and Parisian culture. I recommend it without a doubt to anyone who wants to know more about this...

Having lived in Paris over 6 years now, I can say that this beautiful library/study room is my favorite place to go when I have free time. If you like history- especially Paris history, you will appreciate the book collection of all things of historical significance that have happened in Paris since the last 2,000 years or so. If you want to work in the study room, you need to get a special library card. It's easy to do and free, but you need an identity photo and proof of address. Otherwise, you can still come and hangout in the public space which has books, magazines, maps, computers, and expositions. And the best part?? The 50 cent...
