For further details, see Partnerships with neighbouring libraries.

The CCI is situated in one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Paris, the Quartier Latin, so called because of the establishment of the University of Paris and other Colleges there as from the Middle Ages. A short distance from the Panthéon and the Jardin du Luxembourg, CCI’s rue des Irlandais is very near the lively rue Mouffetard with its restaurants and small shops and not far from the Hammam at the Paris Mosque, the Jardin des Plantes and even Notre Dame Cathedral.
