OMG4726223: Le College des Bernardins, 20 rue de Poissy, Paris 75005. Renovation by Herve Baptisses Chief Architect of Historic Monuments and Jean-Michel Wilmotte for contemporary parts, 2001-2008. It was at the beginning of the 13th century that the Abbe of Clairvaux decided, with the agreement of the General Chapter of the Cistercians, to set up a college in Paris to train the religious of this order, also known as Bernardins. The house in which the monks had first chosen home is soon too small, and it becomes necessary to build a new building. The College of Bernardins enjoyed various fortunes over the centuries.

After heavy restoration work, the Bernardine Convent regained its original function. Place of research and debate in the centre of the Cite.
