A meeting place for culture, research and education, the Collège des Bern ardins is an essential part of Parisian cultural life, and a magnificent Cistercian edifice that's well worth a visit in itself! Listed as a historical monument, it was once a college, a prison and even a barracks, before returning to its original function and becoming the cultural center it is today. Dating back to the 13th century, the building even housed a church, which was converted into a stone quarry before being demolished.
