Wish I was here



The French National library was originally started as a personal collection of French royalty and it travelled with them through generations. After the fall of the aristocracy, the collection was handed over to the state. Now, it holds at least one copy of all manuscripts that is printed in France.

I need to put this on the bucket list.
