The Limoges media library is part of a vast urban planning operation designed to revitalize a historic district of Limoges. Architect Pierre Riboulet has succeeded in integrating modern volumes (large glass facades) with an 18th-century building, the city's former General Hospital. The passageway between the two buildings has been laid out as a winter garden, so that no break is perceptible from the inside.
The library is also intended to be in harmony with the city's history, to which the architect refers by orienting the building along the axis of the Gallo-Roman forum, and which is echoed inside by the mosaics in the atrium. Bfm has a French-language collection of some 25,000 books, making it the reference library for French-language literature in France.
