Couvent des Feuillantines, 17th-century convent in Latin Quarter, France
The Couvent des Feuillantines extends across six and a half hectares, featuring architectural elements designed by Jean Marot in the 5th arrondissement of Paris.
Founded in 1622 by Anne of Austria at Anne Gobelin's request, the convent initially housed religious sisters who relocated from Toulouse to establish this Parisian monastery.
The convent provided accommodations for aristocratic women seeking spiritual retreat, with separate sections maintained under strict regulations by the Archbishop of Paris.
The remaining house annex, constructed in 1688, stands at number 10 rue des Feuillantines, displaying 18th-century architectural characteristics with its registered historic staircase.
Victor Hugo spent part of his childhood at this location between 1808 and 1813, after the convent's transformation into residential buildings following the French Revolution.
