Sighisoara (Romania) is an awesome city indeed. Very midevalesque.

I'm not sure if this 'association' has been made so far. I'm finishing my studies in Paris, and only recently discovered the national library. The global atmosphere of this place makes me think of the keeper libraries as they originally were portrayed in the first two instalments of thief. I'm wondering if Parisian libraries might have had an influence on the conception of the Keepers. Here are a few photos:

What do you think?
Guided tours are possible for those who are visiting the city. ;)
These libraries may perhaps in turn inspire fms? (I know I feel inspired)

I haven't played this game. But the graphics are cool. Very thiefy.
