Hospice Saint-Michel, Historical hospital in 12th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Hospice Saint-Michel features a U-shaped structure with a central building and two perpendicular wings, showcasing neoclassical architectural elements throughout its design.
Michel-Jacques Boulard, Napoleon I's upholsterer, donated his fortune in 1825 to construct this hospice, which opened in 1830 to house twelve elderly residents.
The central chapel contains the founder's bust and heart, while the building's pediment displays inscriptions about the establishment's dedication to elderly men.
Located at 35 Avenue Courteline, the facility now serves as headquarters for SAMU social services, continuing its legacy of providing assistance to those in need.
The founder specified in his will that residents should receive roasted or fricasseed poultry each year on December 1st, his birthday.
