During this exceptional weekend on September 21 and 22, 2024, you can discover the treasures of Parisian hospitals. For this 41st edition of the Journées du Patrimoine, theHôpital Broca is opening its doors and revealing itself to you. Located in the 13th arrondissement , this health care facility stands on the site of theformer Cordelières convent, the ruins of which still stand today. Here's the program that awaits you:
We invite you to delve into the site's rich past: who has frequented this hospital over the centuries? Before it was a hospital, what souls did it shelter? We'll try to joyfully answer these questions through both hostorical elements and escapades into the imaginary, thanks to texts written by those who are alive on the premises today. For our heritage history often resonates with individual stories.
Visit dramatized by Isabelle Saudubray of CIe pièces Montées.
