The Hôtel-Dieu

About

The Hôtel-Dieu would have been established in the 13th century – around 1220 – and be a royal foundation. Entirely rebuilt between 1766 and 1770, this building was developed thanks to donations from nobles and bourgeois of the town. It served as a hospital until 1970, date on which this hospital was moved in the outskirts of the town.
