Saint-Mandé is home to a unique medico-social institute, whose model has inspired many countries around the world. Founded in 1883 by Alphonse Péphau, president of the Société d'assistance pour les aveugles, the École Braille, now known as the Institut Le Val Mandé, holds many treasures. By browsing this lively place of nearly 14,000 m 2, you will be surprised by the richness of objects and works relating to the history of blindness and its representations, in France and abroad, sometimes highlighted like a cabinet of curiosities. A real city within the city!
