The Centre sportif des Docteurs Augusta et Jules Déjerine sits behind a wall of corrugated metal and wire mesh on the Rue de la Chine. This sports complex honors Augusta and Jules Déjerine, a husband and wife team of neurologists who spent their careers working at the nearby Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital. They mapped the anatomy of the nervous system and identified how specific brain lesions affect human speech. Now, the site serves the neighborhood as a field for soccer and outdoor athletics.
