The Jesuit library in Valenciennes houses a vast vaulted room that preserves the oldest text in French.
Thanks to the collections of the Simone Veil multimedia library, we can explore twelve centuries of history, from parchment scrolls to the digital age. Restored to its original state, the Jesuit library is housed in magnificent buildings that have remained unchanged since 1740. Its vast vaulted hall preserves its treasure: the Cantilène de sainte Eulalie, composed around 880. It is the oldest known text in the French language.
