France Hotel Dieu







France is filled with dozens of wonderful chateaux, palaces, fortresses, cathedrals, abbeys, and cloisters. One of the places you might interest to visit is the hôtel-Dieu which has been created in 651 under the episcopate of Landry. The opening of the street Neuve-Notre-Dame in 1164 during the reconstruction of the cathedral brings about the destruction of the hôtel-Dieu that is rebuilt to the south of the parvis. This second building is ravaged by three major fires in 1718, 1737 and 1772 and will be renovated finally in 1878 by the works of Haussmann.
