About the location

Médiathèque Le Dôme de Saint-Claude

5 place de l'Abbaye 39200 Saint-Claude

Jura
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

Inaugurated on 27 January 2017, the Le Dôme media library is located in the former premises of the Banque de France, opposite the Saint-Claude Cathedral. The building was the subject of an architectural project led by the firm Patrick Mauger. The challenge was to convert an austere building, by definition closed, into an open, bright, pleasant place, in the spirit of the «3rd place» libraries. The interior of the building, completely taken over, is now equipped with a dome overlooking the two mezzanine floors dedicated to the reception of the public. An auditorium replaces the vault.
