The Bibliothèque Nationale de France, originally the home of Cardinal Mazarin, was built in the 17th century, an age in which people still knew how to build beautiful, resilient buildings. Cardinal Mazarin, our Readers will recall, was the powerful frenemy of D’Artagnan in Alexander Dumas’ Twenty Years After.
