More information on Hôtel-Dieu St-Jacques

Toulouse's first large hospital was founded in the Middle Ages on the left bank of the Garonne River. For centuries it was also used as a shelter for pilgrims on their way to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. There is a large shell sculpture in the beautiful landscaped gardens. The medical authorities use a section of the present buildings, which date from the 17th century. The Salle Lazare, Salle des Colonnes and Salle des Pélerins, which has its original ceiling, are open to the public. On the first floor, the central staircase opens onto a balcony, which affords a magnificent view of the river.
