Broussais hospital, Former hospital in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, France

Broussais Hospital, once known as the Mariners' Hospital, is a former hospital complex in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. It consists of several buildings set around courtyards, with a main entrance on rue Didot, and now houses a prevention and rehabilitation center within the HEGP-Broussais group.

Built in 1883 as a temporary facility to handle a typhoid outbreak, the hospital was originally called the Mariners' Hospital. It was renamed in 1885 after François Broussais and later expanded its radiology and teaching facilities in the 1920s and 1930s.

The hospital's name, Broussais, honors a military doctor and professor of pathology, and this history is reflected in the street names and plaques around the neighborhood. Today, the site is a place where local residents come for rehabilitation and prevention services, blending medical function with everyday life.

The site is easily reached by metro or bus, with the main entrance on rue Didot. Visitors should note that parts of the complex are still in use for medical services, so access to certain areas may be limited.

The hospital was built in just a few months, from August to October 1883, and was meant to be demolished after the epidemic. Instead, it remained in use for half a century, and some of its original buildings still stand.
