Summary edit

Description

Hospice de la Charité (1752-1761). Fondé par Saint-Vincent de Paul en 1621 et reconstruit par Soufflot au 18ème siècle.

Founded by Saint-Vincent de Paul in 1621, rebuilt by Soufflot in the 18th century.

Rue Carnot is one of the busiest shopping streets in the town. Here, is the L’Ancien Hospice de la Charité, once a hospital, but now an old people’s home. To the right of the front door is a swivel-gate where new-born babies were abandoned by placing them unseen in a barrel which then swivelled around and when the bell was rung, the nuns rushed to collect the baby. A walk around the town on the Heritage Trail brings you to the Hôtel Dieu, the Old St.Vincent Hospital.
