Jardin du Potager

The Jardin du Potager in the seventh arrondissement of Paris occupies a site that once served as the vegetable garden for the historic Hospice des Incurables. This hospital, later renamed the Hôpital Laennec, was established in the seventeenth century to provide care for those deemed incurable by the medical standards of the time. The garden provided essential produce to sustain the patients and staff within the hospital walls, functioning as a vital, self-contained resource for centuries.
