Quartier du Val-de-Grâce, Administrative quarter in 5th arrondissement, France

The Val-de-Grâce quarter extends across 70.4 hectares, bordered by Boulevard Port-Royal to the south and Boulevard Saint-Michel to the west.

The district grew around the Val-de-Grâce abbey, constructed in the 17th century by Queen Anne of Austria to commemorate the birth of Louis XIV.

The area houses multiple research centers, including the Institut Curie and École Normale Supérieure, contributing to French scientific advancement.

The quarter connects to central Paris through RER B stations Luxembourg and Port-Royal, with several bus lines serving the neighborhood.

The military hospital, established during the French Revolution, transformed the former religious complex into a medical education center.
