We would like to thank you for your patience during these long months of closure due to water damage in our shops.
Please make your book reservation requests via the catalogue, and your archive consultation requests via the form on https://archives.efeo.fr/ (bottom left of the home page).
Please note that the EFEO Paris - and therefore the library - will close on the evening of Thursday 25 July and will reopen on Monday 19 August, due to the Olympic Games.
