There's a rail in front to lock your bicycle to it. Inside is clean, cool from the A/C . Staff was friendly and welcoming . If you are not a member , it is $10 a day to use the library . Which includes access to computers and wifi. It's a very nice library . No large bags allowed inside . I had my luggage and had to leave it in the front which wasn't an issue. Overall great experience and would recommend if you need to use a computer for work while you travel . Very quiet too.

This is a lovely and interesting monument to visit. It's right across from Galerie Vivienne (also…read morerecommended). Mom and I came in on a bit of a whim--a coffee break was in order a head of our shop--and we're very pleased with what we discovered. Entry to the building is free--just pass through security and head on in while the building is open. If you want to check out the museum portion, just buy a ticket at the counter. The awesome news is the that the famous Oval Room is part of your free admission (it's one benefit of visiting an actual library). In addition to the beautiful architecture, you can head around the perimeter of the room and enjoy interactive mini-exhibits that include a virtual dress-up, trivia, and a hidden images game. On your way out (or in), stop and enjoy a coffee and a snack. The scones are great!

It houses a copy of all publications in Paris, and its museum traces back to 1368. My nephew had spent a lot of time studying in the Oval Room, and wanted to show it to me, since he knows I like libraries. He knew the less busy entrance, so got in after a few minutes in line, having to go through both an x-ray machine and hand search for backpacks. We didn't stay very long as the Oval Room's sitting areas were completely full, but that first view into the Oval Room is breath-taking.

Wow, what a library!…read more Dang man, this library is the library of all libraries lol It puts any library in the United States to shame lol I mean its massive and the architecture! It's wonderful. Who would have thought that this was just a library? I honestly thought it was some a government building when I first saw it. But nope lol I was dead wrong. Even the public library is amazing. I believe it is free to come in here and read and or study. Honestly, it is just a nice place to relax. Come on Unites States- do better lol We are looking weak here lol Our public libraries are a joke compared to this.

Wow what a beauty of a building!!…read more I cannot emphasize enough how much you should go visit this place Specifically you should book the mystery tour held at 5pm which boasts a behind the scenes look at the Paris Opera House and its beautiful Grand Foyer(note- you may recognize the famous steps from Emily in Paris ) It's a group tour - but it's after hours so it's definitely limited people and less tourists then during the day and I loved it- The guides were great , you get an ear piece to listen to in multiple languages I would love to come back and see an actual show someday

When visiting Paris, we wanted to attend a performance at the historic Opera National de Paris -…read morePalais Garnier but we could not get tickets a month before (appeared it needs to be preplanned four to six months ahead) so we decided to go on a tour. I had wanted to see the opera house for about 15 years and did not have a chance-we were very happy with our experience! The opera house is located at Place de l'Opéra in the 9th arrondissement of Paris and the tour entrance is in the back side of the building. There are a variety of tours but we selected a guided tour so there could be allot of interaction and added information - it was well worth it! Tours are available from It is generally open from 10 am to 5 pm (last admission one hour before closing), though the auditorium may be closed unpredictably due to rehearsals. We were on a guided tour and they allowed us in during one of the rehearsals although we could not speak. Having visited many opera houses in the past including London, Vienna, Prague, etc. this one was very impressive. The Grand Staircase, museum, foyer, and addition displays are amazing. Well worth the visit!
