The Bpi is moving!
While the Centre Pompidou is closed, the Bibliothèque publique d’information will be temporarily relocated to the Lumière building in Paris’s 12th arrondissement.
The Centre Pompidou will close its doors to the public in September 2025 for 5 years of renovation work (technical upgrades and interior refurbishment). During the works, the Bpi will move to a new address, after closing for a few months to relocate.
From August 25, 2025, the Bpi will reopen its doors in the Lumière building at 40 avenue des Terroirs de France (12th arrondissement), in a dynamic new district just a stone’s throw from Bercy Village and a 5-minute walk from Cour Saint-Emilion station (line 14).
The library will occupy levels 2 and 3 of the south wing of this modern, glass-fronted building, covering an area of over 8,900 m2, three quarters of the surface area currently occupied by the Centre Pompidou (10,400 m2).
The library will remain free and open to all, and will keep a wide range of opening hours: 12pm-10pm on weekdays, 11am-10pm on weekends and public holidays, closed on Tuesdays.
When the work is completed in 2030, the Bpi will return to its enlarged premises in the Centre Pompidou.
