Quartier des Quinze-Vingts, Administrative quarter in Paris 12th arrondissement, France
The Quinze-Vingts district extends from Place de la Bastille to the intersection of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine and Rue de Chaligny along the Seine River.
The quarter received its name from a hospital founded by King Louis IX in 1260, which contained 300 beds, calculated as fifteen times twenty in medieval counting.
The Gare de Lyon railway station, built in 1855, stands in the district with its clock tower and 67-meter belfry, serving over 100 million passengers annually.
The district houses multiple educational facilities, including Bercy Elementary School and Paul Verlaine Secondary School, connected by metro lines 1 and 8.
The Viaduc des Arts, a transformed 1859 viaduct, now functions as a center for French craftsmen who create jewelry, theatre sets, and contemporary furniture.
