Couvent des Ursulines de Paris, 17th-century convent in 5th arrondissement, France.
The Couvent des Ursulines occupies a substantial space in the Latin Quarter, featuring architectural elements from its 1620 construction period.
Madeleine Luillier de Sainte-Beuve established this religious institution in 1620, making it a central point for the Ursuline order in France.
The convent maintained a dual educational system, providing instruction to both aristocratic young women and local children from modest backgrounds.
Modern visitors can find the former convent grounds near the intersection of Rue des Ursulines and Rue Gay-Lussac in the 5th arrondissement.
The Studio des Ursulines, housed in part of the former convent complex, continues as one of the oldest single-screen cinemas in Paris.
