Just behind, in case you didn’t notice, was the first new building in the Rive Gauche project, the monumental mouthful of a library, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France – site François Mitterrand/Tolbiac (a.k.a. BnF, or TGB for très grand bibliothèque). Opened in 1997, its four towers overlooking the Quai François-Mauriac are supposed to resemble four open books, with façades made entirely of glass (revolving wooden shelves inside can be moved to block the sun).
There are some great views from the wooden terrace connecting the buildings, but watch out – those steps are slippery when wet! , take a guided tour (in French, call in advance to sign up, or visit the latest cultural exposition in the Grande Galerie).
