The origins of Bicêtre date back to the middle of the 13th century, when Louis IX donated an estate on the territory of Gentilly to a colony of Chartreux. Around 1286, Jean de Pontoise, bishop of Winchester, acquired the domain abandoned by the Chartreux and built a feudal keep.
Subsequently, on the site of the feudal castle was destroyed. Louis XIII built a hospital for wounded soldiers.
In 1656, Mazarin decided to attach this hospital to the general hospital created by the King. Bicêtre was assigned to men, vagabonds, old men, destitute of all kinds (in 1668 there were 600 boarders). At the same time, the Bicêtre hospital became a state prison, an insane asylum and a hospice.
In 1823, it was transformed and was called “Hospice de la Vieillesse Hommes” and in 1885, “Hospice de Bicêtre”. Still visible, these old buildings, parallel to each other, erect their brick gables in front of the functional hospital rebuilt in the years 1970-1971.
The Bicêtre Hospital Centre continues to develop
