Former sub-prefecture

Former sub-prefecture

During the 17th century, the Ursuline nuns, whose vocation included the education and instruction of children, extended their property to the other side of rue des Guérites, then known as rue du Collège, and built a boarding school. In 1861, the original buildings were demolished and replaced by this tall building, which housed the Sous-Préfecture until 1926. It is currently an annex of the Lycée Chevalier d'Éon.
