Did you know that a library can reveal the intimate culture and history of a city? When traveling, I like to steep myself in a region’s architecture, tradition, and story that libraries do well at embodying. Recently, while visiting family and friends in Paris, France, I had the opportunity to sneak away to the oldest public library in France! The Mazarin Public Library in Paris, France did not disappoint, and I am ready to share its beauty and history with you. Date Visited:
