Before checkout

What is often not included

  • The “1-day Research Pass” is for the Research Library and requires proof of research; it is not a general sightseeing ticket for the museum or exhibitions.
  • Allow extra time for entrance security

    controls may be strengthened, so timed access or a fast-entry arrangement would not remove the screening process.

  • Only cabin-size luggage measuring up to 55 × 35 × 25 cm is accepted inside Bibliothèque nationale de France Richelieu; backpacks, small luggage, umbrellas, walking sticks and other listed items must go to the cloakroom.
  • Cloakroom storage is subject to capacity and excludes valuable or bulky items; lockers require a coin or a token obtained from the general information desk.
  • Research-room visitors must use transparent briefcases, and staff visually check personal belongings when visitors leave the reading rooms.
  • A pass is strictly personal, so another visitor cannot use it on your behalf; losing, forgetting or having it stolen without the required documentation can create a replacement-cost issue.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    For the museum, temporary exhibitions and Salle Ovale, use 5 rue Vivienne; 58 rue de Richelieu is for research-library access, groups, cardholders and visitors with disabilities. Security checks are reinforced, so a reserved or timed ticket does not remove the entrance check: only cabin-size luggage up to 55 × 35 × 25 cm is accepted, and backpacks, small luggage, umbrellas and walking sticks must be left at the cloakroom.

  • Price

    The official benchmark is €6 for the “1-day Research Pass.” No partner offer is available here for a direct price comparison, so check the final checkout total and included benefits before paying.

  • Discounts

    The Oval Room is free and open to everyone with no age limit, via 5 rue Vivienne. Museum and temporary-exhibition access has separate full-price, reduced and exemption rules; eligibility can depend on age, status, pass ownership and proof documents, and reservations are recommended even when admission is free or reduced. The research reading rooms are different: access requires research eligibility, supporting documents and a valid Research Pass.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
