Step inside France's oldest public library and feel your jaw drop. The 17th-century reading room soars with floor-to-ceiling shelves, wooden ladders, gilded chandeliers, and marble busts of great thinkers. Founded by Cardinal Mazarin in 1643, it is still free to enter and wander through centuries of scholarship.
