Come and discover the Saint-Maurice Hospitals and their rich history! Although their existence dates back to the seventeenth century and many buildings date from the nineteenth century and are classified, the Hospitals of Saint-Maurice remain a resolutely contemporary, modern and innovative structure, in keeping with the context that motivated their pioneering creation and operation. This visit will be an opportunity to present the various entities that make up the "Les Hôpitaux de Saint-Maurice", now an integral part of the "Hôpitaux Paris Est Val de Marne", but also to discover their unusual and abundant history as well as that of the famous characters they saw pass by. Also the Marquis de Sade, the Empress Eugénie, André Gil or Verlaine, to name but a few, will accompany us through the places we will cross. In the heart of this green setting of 33 hectares, you will know everything about the old "House of Charenton", specialized in the treatment of "madness" since the old regime and about the old "Imperial Asylum of Vincennes" initiated by Napoleon III for the convalescence of the wounded of the industries and urban development sites of the capital, then in great transformation. You will return from this visit with a new look at this beautiful and amazing place, placing it, in addition, in its important link with the surrounding territories and its rich future, at the heart of a major real estate project in the coming years.
