Passer devant la Bibliothèque nationale de Paris, c'est toujours comme faire un petit voyage dans le passé. Ma mère y a travaillé pendant 45 ans aux manuscrits latins, donc ce quartier occupe une place particulière dans mon cœur. Je me souviens avoir passé des après-midis dans les magasins, à jouer à cache-cache dans les piles de livres.

C'est drôle comme certains endroits deviennent une partie de vous, n'est-ce pas ? Celui-ci l'a définitivement fait pour moi.
