For all those who are looking for original collections, the Apothecary of the Hotel-Dieu-le-Comte is a privileged step. Indira Veerapa, curator of the works and responsible for the collections of the Apothicairerie presents one of the most beautiful apothicaireries of France in its original case.
It could be preserved as it was at the time of its installation in the early 18th century. This vast room, almost square, of about 8 meters of side and about 5 meters of height, has its four walls entirely covered with ten floors of shelving where are placed boxes and medicinal earthenware.
The room and the collections it houses have been triple classified by the Historical Monuments: in 1958 for the medicinal boxes in painted wood, in 1964 for the room and its woodwork and in 1984 for the collection of ancient medicinal earthenware. A garden installed in the courtyard of honor (access by the street of the City) presents medicinal plants. Since December 2022, access to the apothecary is through the City of Stained Glass in the former Hôtel-Dieu (access via Roger Salengro street)
