Salle Ovale...

…in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
The Richelieu site is the historical cradle of the Bibliothèque nationale de France and its exceptional collections. It was originally the palace of Cardinal Mazarin, built in the 17th century. It includes a research library, a new museum, a new space for temporary exhibitions, the Salle Ovale, which is free and open to all, a garden, a bookshop and a café. Important to note: The opening hours of the research library are different from the opening hours of the Oval Hall and the BnF Museum
