The Cordeliers Convent in Paris (in French: "Les Cordeliers", or "l'École Pratique de la Faculté de Médecine de Paris", in English: the Practical School of the Paris Faculty of Medicine) is a university and historic site in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, located in the Latin Quarter campus at 15, rue de l'École-de-Médecine.[1] [2] It takes its name from the former Cordeliers Convent, a monastic establishment founded thanks to the generosity of King Louis IX and part of the Franciscan order. Today, only the convent refectory remains of the original building, recently restored by the RIVP.[3] The owner of the site is the City of Paris.
