The restored ceiling paintings by the French painter Eugène Delacroix at the renovated library of the National Assembly. A hidden gem in the heart of the Palais Bourbon, the library is due to reopen in April after a year’s work to restore its nave and its 400 sq metres of painted ceilings, a masterpiece by #Delacroix
