Médiathèque Jean Falala
2 rue des Fuseliers, 51100 Reims
The Jean Falala Media Library, the central equipment of the Reims public reading network, offers nearly 160,000 documents on all media (books, discs, videos, CD-ROMs) for consultation and loan.
It helps to revitalize the courtyard area of the cathedral, renovated in 2007.
It is one of 12 national projects selected by the Ministry of Culture and Communication under the Municipal Regional Libraries (RMVR) program.
Facing the cathedral and with an area of 6.500m², the media library is located on a plot previously occupied by the Hotel de Police.

The arrival of modernity on this site of the forecourt of the cathedral seeks to achieve a gentle transformation, and a fine adjustment that make the building resist the co-visibility with the cathedral.
The harmony of this co-visibility is ensured by the classical proportion obt
