Posted in Europe, France, Paris

We have driven and walked in my eternal Paris, and would like to have an imprint in my blog on the wonderful family times we had there, There is so much to see , doing my best, and glad found me these older paper pictures which now transposing in my blog for you and me, This was my former worked city, so glad to post more memorable spots on it, Therefore, here is my take on curiosities of Paris , part XV !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The François Mitterrand site of the BnF is made up of two libraries: a public library open from Tuesday to Sunday, a research library open from Monday to Saturday. The various access titles allow you to access the reading rooms as well as the cultural programming. Free access spaces allow you to take advantage of work places outside the reading room and to freely visit the building. The four towers in the shape of an open book delimit the perimeter of the esplanade. They house seven floors of offices protected by movable wooden shutters and eleven floors of stores. The National Library of France has fourteen departments and several collections mainly kept on its four Parisian sites, including the Department of Coins, Medals and Antiques, heir to the Cabinet of Medals. The collections as a whole represent approximately 150 million printed and specialized documents. This was on a group tour from the Louvre museum!

 The Shakespeare and Company is an independent bookstore located in the 5éme arrondissement of Paris. Shakespeare and Company serves both as a bookstore and a library specializing in English literature. The floor also serves as a refuge for travelers (tumbleweeds), hosted in exchange for a few hours of daily work in the bookstore. This is very close to Notre Dame Cathedral and Place St Michel.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
