Catholic University of Paris, Private Catholic university in 6th arrondissement, France

The Catholic University of Paris spans multiple buildings near Luxembourg Garden, with its main campus featuring Neo-Gothic architectural elements and a church named Saint-Joseph-des-Carmes.

Founded in 1875 on a former Carmelite convent site, the institution regained ownership of its property in 1927 after the French separation of church and state.

The institution enrolls 10,000 students annually, employs 900 teachers, and offers programs in theology, philosophy, social sciences, and literature through state-recognized diplomas.

The workspace of radio technology pioneer Édouard Branly remains preserved within the university campus, maintaining its original configuration from the early 20th century.
