TWW Comment

A remnant of the former Abbey of Port-Royal. The Abbey was first built in 1626. Was a stronghold of Jansenism. It was closed down in 1790, at the beginning of the French Revolution and from 1793 used as a prison under the name Prison de Port-libre or Prison de la Bourbe. Today its main cloister forms part of the modern Hôpital Cochin.
