Professed House, Jesuit convent in Le Marais, Paris, France.
The Professed House stands between rue Saint-Paul, rue Saint-Antoine, and rue Charlemagne, at the location of the current lycée Charlemagne.
Cardinal de Bourbon acquired the hôtel de La Rochepot in 1580 from Duchesse de Montmorency and offered it to the Jesuits for their establishment.
The building housed confessors to French kings, including Père de La Chaise who served Louis XIV, and welcomed renowned preachers like Bourdaloue.
The former religious complex transformed into an educational institution, now serving as the lycée Charlemagne for students in central Paris.
This establishment contained the largest library in Paris after its conversion to the Prieuré royal de Saint-Louis de la Couture in 1767.
