Centre hospitalier Gérard Marchant
134 route d'Espagne, 31057 Toulouse
With more than 150 years of history, the Centre Hospitalier Gérard Marchand has an architectural heritage of major importance. It is the only 19th-century building in Haute-Garonne that has such historical, artistic and heritage importance," recalls Odile Foucaud, lecturer in the history of modern art at the University of Montpellier. Jacques-Jean Esquié, his architect, received for his construction the second prize of architecture at the universal exhibition of Paris in 1867\. Adapted to the needs of the most avant-garde care for the time, it is also charged with a great aesthetic value, whether it is the classicism of the arcades of the courtyard of honor, the Romanesque-Gothic style of the chapel or reminders of local architecture by the use of fairground bricks and the opening of viewpoints. An architecture that has constantly evolved to adapt to the needs of the care.
