The couvent des Récollets de Paris is a former Franciscan monastery in Paris. It is a listed historical monument since 1974.[1]
History
Henry IV of France granted the Récollets permission to build a monastery on land two paces from saint-Laurent church which had been given them by his tapestry maker Jacques Cottard. They initially built a small church and the foundation stone of the monastery and a larger church was laid by Marie de Medici on 30 August 1614.
It closed in 1790 and was turned into a military hospital for 'incurables' in 1802. In 1861 the incurable cases were moved to the hospice des Incurables d'Ivry and it became the Saint-Martin military hospital, before being renamed after the military doctor Jean-Antoine Villemin (1827-1892) in 1913. Near gare du Nord and gare de l'Est, it was heavily used during both world wars and was still in use during the Algerian War.
It finally closed as a hospital in 1968 and was long threatened with demolition before being made a historic monument in 1974. It now houses Lerichemont, part of RIVP.
