Hôpital La Rochefoucauld, Neoclassical monument historique in 14th arrondissement, France.

Hôpital La Rochefoucauld is a neoclassical complex at 15 avenue du Général-Leclerc in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, built on a U-shaped plan of pale cream stone. The three-storey central block carries a dark mansard roof with dormer windows, while the taller projecting wings end in square cupolas with domed roofs. A metal fence and trees stand before the facade.

The institution was founded in 1780 under Louis XVI as a royal house of health and provided care for poor military personnel and clergy. Over the centuries, its functions changed, and the facility finally closed in 2019.

The name comes from Anne Rosalie Chauvelin, viscountess of La Rochefoucauld, who endowed the house; it was renamed after her in 1821. The building is attributed to Jacques-Denis Antoine, architect of the Hôtel des Monnaies, with work continued by Charles-François Viel de Saint-Maux. The left wing, built in 1825, houses the chapel.

The site is closed to the public: after the hospital shut in 2019 it housed isolated women temporarily, then was leased in 2022 to the 14th arrondissement police station during renovation of its Avenue du Maine building. The facade and courtyard can be seen from Avenue du Général-Leclerc and Avenue René-Coty; Mouton-Duvernet metro station is the nearest.

The Regard de Saux, a shaft of the Médicis aqueduct (also called the Arcueil aqueduct), stands at no. 25 avenue René-Coty and controlled the pipes that supplied the hospital. Its architecture is inspired by the mausoleum of Cyrus at Pasargadae. The aqueduct is a 17th-century work, not medieval.
