After I had finished with the the Passages and Galleries, I decided to head over towards Pompidou Centre, but on my way I saw this beautiful big building that turned out to be the National Library...well, anyone who knows me, knows that I can't pass by a library, so I stepped in for a quick peek. What a place, it was like the library of my dreams, or to be more accurate, the library that a person sees in movies...wide carpeted steps leading up to an area filled with displays of statues and ancient coins and artifacts, and then a huge wooden door leading into the circular and HIGH shelves of books. Sadly, all the books were in French, so I couldn't borrow any.
