The American Library in Paris
10, rue du Général Camou , 75007 Paris (Telephone: +33.1.53.59.12.60 , Reference: +33.1.53.59.12.62, Fax: +33.1.45.50.25.83 ; E-mail: alparis@noos.fr) 
(Publc transportation: (a) RER C, Pont de l’Alma station. (b) underground: Ecole Militaire station).

This is a fee-paying library. Consult the library site for the cost of one-day (no borrowing privileges), four-month, six-month and one-year use for students, other individuals and families. Fees are quite high, but now that the British Council Library has been dismantled and the documentation center at the American consulate (rue Saint-Florentin) no longer accepts readers, there are few other alternatives for those who are not students at a university.
The American Libraries in Angers, Montpellier, and Nancy no longer have any connection with the Paris library.
