About the location

Médiathèque Simone Veil

4 rue Ferrand 59300 Valenciennes

Nord
Hauts-de-France

Built from 1740 to 1743, the former Jesuit library is one of the few books in France to have undergone no change in its original assignment or installation. The visit allows to discover an exceptionally preserved decor: the paintings that decorate the library are the visual projection of the contents of the collections. A recent lighting project carried out thanks to the patronage of EDF allows us to admire all the quality.
