École élémentaire des Hospitalières-Saint-Gervais, Public elementary school in Le Marais, Paris, France.

The École élémentaire des Hospitalières-Saint-Gervais is a school building in Le Marais with a stone hall that once functioned as a butcher's pavilion. Bronze fountain spouts adorn the facade, giving the building its recognizable appearance.

The school was founded in 1844 to provide education for Jewish children in the community. It suffered devastating losses during World War II when 165 students were deported to Auschwitz.

The plaza in front of the school carries the name Parvis des 260-Enfants, a memorial dedicated to children who were deported during World War II. This naming reflects how the local community honors and remembers those who were lost from this place.

The school is located on Rue des Hospitalières-Saint-Gervais in the 4th arrondissement and can be easily accessed via Saint-Paul metro station. The building sits at the edge of Le Marais neighborhood and is well integrated into the local area.

The school operated on a different schedule from other Parisian schools, closing on Saturdays to observe the Sabbath. It opened on Thursdays when neighboring schools remained closed, allowing it to serve its students' needs.
