Without the love of the kings of France for books and precious objects, this institution would never have seen the light of day.

But it was not until the 17th century, and the reign of Louis XIV, a lover of the arts and letters, that the royal library took over its historic quarters in the rue Vivienne in Paris, which it still occupies.
