Working at the Bibliothèque du Saulchoir

In the final years of his life, Michel Foucault often used the Bibliothèque du Saulchoir, a small Dominican library in Paris, for his work. I’ve never had a reason to visit before, but today I spent the morning there, looking at some correspondence in the Fonds Jean de Menasce.

There is a piece about Foucault’s use of the library here. It used to hold the papers of the Centre Michel Foucault, but they were relocated to IMEC many years ago.
