Comment
The Collège des Bernardins, or Collège Saint-Bernard, located at 20 rue de Poissy in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is a former Cistercian college of the historic Université de Paris. Founded by Étienne de Lexington, abbot of Clairvaux, and built from 1248 with the encouragement of Pope Innocent IV, it served until the French Revolution as a residence for Cistercian monks studying at the University of Paris.After a complete renovation completed in September 2008, it is now a place for meetings, dialogue, training and culture, offering a rich program of conferences and symposia, exhibitions, concerts, activities for young audiences and a theological and biblical training center. Since 2009, it has been home to the Académie catholique de France.
It has been listed as a historic monument since February 10, 1887.
