    Institut les Cordeliers
    21, rue de l'Ecole de Médecine
    75006 Paris, France

Les Cordeliers, which was a convent before the French Revolution, now hosts the Faculty of Medicine, from Université Pierre & Marie Curie - Paris Universitas, and belongs to the City of Paris.

Before becoming a research & education center dedicated to Medicine, les Cordeliers were first a religious area inhabited by Franciscan monks since the 13th Century. During the French Revolution, the monks were expelled and this place became famous for hosting the Society for human and citizen rights, and the Club des Cordeliers, comprising renowned French revolutionary like Danton, Desmoulins, Hébert, Marat and so on.  They used to hold meetings open to all citizens and to make appreciated speeches about politics and rights.

Today, Les Cordeliers are a peaceful place in the Quartier Latin, close to all touristic attractions and transportation systems, and immersed in the lively atmosphere of Paris.
