Formerly the seat of the archbishops of Sens and built between 1475 and 1507, it is now one of the 3 last remaining residences of the middle ages still standing in Paris, and currently housing the Bibliothèque Forney, devoted to decorative and fine arts, as well as industrial techniques, and collections of old posters, prints, postcards and wallpapers.

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
