Archives départementales de la Loire-Atlantique

Readers may themselves take photographs of documents without flash, provided that the cameras used are not in direct contact with the originals and insofar as the condition of the documents allows. No reproduction equipment is made available to the public. No photocopying is possible. 

The reading room is available to the public to consult original and multimedia documents, subject to acceptance of the rules. Access is free of charge. There is a simple formality to complete on your first visit: registration to establish your reader's card. To do this, you need to bring an identity document with a photograph (identity card, passport, driving licence, etc.). This personal reader's card gives access to the Archives' reading room and allows you to request documents.
