Visit to a collection of pathological waxes
Built in the early seventeenth century under the reign of Henir IV, who himself laid the first stone of the chapel in 1607, the Saint-Louis hospital was created to relieve the congestion of the Hôtel Dieu during plague epidemics. Its historic quadrilateral, similar to the Place des Vosges, and its chapel are witnesses of this time. Another remarkable site is the Musée des moulages, which tells the story of dermatology, which began in Saint Louis in the 19th century. It has 4 collections of wax casts representing skin diseases, made for the teaching of dermatologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, Saint-Louis Hospital is a specialized hospital for dermatology, hematology and cancer. On the occasion of the heritage days, the hospital opens its doors for a stroll in the form of a treasure hunt, a journey through the seventeenth to the twenty-first century.
