The Françoise-Sagan multimedia library, nestled in the Saint-Lazare garden, seems today a haven of peace close to the tumult of the 10th station. It replaced a preserved hospital-infirmary during the demolition of the Saint-Lazare prison in 1940. This prison, created during the Revolution, was itself the result of the transformation of the buildings of a gigantic religious estate, the clos Saint-Lazare, not yet urbanized in the early nineteenth century. The visit is scheduled in three stages from 3 pm to 5 pm:

Auditorium: introductory presentation in images and maps of the successive metamorphoses of the place,
Visit of the multimedia library to its panoramic roof,
Wandering in the immediate vicinity of the media library, discovering traces of the past in the southeast part of Clos Saint-Lazare.

The Françoise-Sagan media library joins an emblematic place of Parisian history(story), Square Saint-Lazare, which exists for the XIIth century. First leper hospital then Congregation of the Mission of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, he(it) is transformed into place of detention under Revolution, then into prison-hospital for women at the beginning of the XIXth century. The current building(ship) is what stays of the hospital established in the XIXth century by Louis-Pierre Baltard.
