Reopening of the Richelieu site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France
The historic Richelieu site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) located in the centre of Paris has just reopened to the public after 12 years of work. Among other things, the BnF has another important site inaugurated in 1995 in the south of Paris by the President of the Republic François Mitterrand and which now bears his name.
The BnF collects, archives and restores all works published or edited in France. It also preserves national heritage collections, and items from bequests or donations.
Its origin goes back to the king's library installed in the Louvre in 1368 by Charles V. A decision made by King François 1st in 1537 required the creation of the collection, making it a legal requirement to deposit all publications in the national library. This decision now makes the BnF the largest library in France and one of the largest in the world. The BnF's collections include nearly 16 million books and collections, as many prints and photographs, 2 million scores, 950,000 maps, plans and globes and some 370,000 manuscripts. It has been open to the public since 1692.
Among these collections are the first editions of Emile, or the education by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and La Princesse de Clèves by Madame de La Fayette. Many books published before 1500, called incunabula, such as Le Kal endrier des bergers published in 1493, and very old illuminations, including the Great Chronicles of France dating from the late fifteenth century, are also kept there.
After many locations, the library moved in 1721 to the site of the current library in the former palace of Mazarin, rue Vivienne. New rooms were built during the Second Empire, one for researchers, the other for the general public. The Mazarine Gallery designed by François Mansart became a museum in 1878. Finally, the impressive "Salle Ovale" 18 meters high was opened in 1936.
Since 2010, major redevelopment work has been undertaken, which has just ended (2022). The site now includes 5 reading rooms, 4 of which are reserved for researchers, and the Oval room, equipped with 20,000 books and open to all, with free access. There is also a museum, a gallery of temporary exhibitions, a bookshop and a café. The entirety occupies about 58,000 m².
Although the refurbishments have restored the prestige to this somewhat forgotten but architecturally renowned site, an old controversy has reappeared. The main staircase, a monumental work built before the war of 1914-1918 and inspired by the Louis XIV period, has been replaced by a rotating staircase made of steel and aluminum whose integration into the place is sometimes disputed.

The Paris Opera (French: Opéra de Paris) is the primary opera and ballet company of France. It was founded in 1669 by Louis XIV as the Académie d'Opéra, and shortly thereafter was placed under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Lully and officially renamed the Académie Royale de Musique, but continued to be known more simply as the Opéra. Classical ballet as it is known today arose within the Paris Opera as the Paris Opera Ballet and has remained an integral and important part of the company. Currently called the Opéra national de Paris, it mainly produces operas at its modern 2,723-seat theatre Opéra Bastille which opened in 1989, and ballets and some classical operas at the older 1,979-seat Palais Garnier which opened in 1875. Small scale and contemporary works are also staged in the 500-seat Amphitheatre under the Opéra Bastille. Each year, the Paris Opera presents about 380 performances of opera, ballet and other concerts, to a total audience of about 800,000 people (of whom 17% come from abroad), with an average seat occupancy rate of 94%.. #parisopera #paris #operadeparis #art #opera #travelgram #travel #architecture #street #cityphotography #streetphotography #travelphotography #citylife #picoftheday #operanationaldeparis #france #parisjetaime #parismonamour #visitparis #parisianlife #instaparis #visitfrance #topparisphoto #parisfrance #touristattraction #dance #history #classicalballet #ballet #operabastille (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6w4Hko8ot/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
