Stay in a former hospital

Some unusual places to stay

The Hôtel-Dieu of Beaune and Paris are undoubtedly the most renowned, but like Lyon, Marseille, or Toulouse, all major cities welcomed the less fortunate (pilgrims, the sick, the elderly, etc.) in these establishments founded and managed by the church.
What future awaits these vast hospitals at the heart of cities today, which first appeared in France during the Middle Ages?
Like the Hôtel-Dieu of Marseille, converted into a tourist establishment in 2013, the one in Lyon is on its way to becoming, among other things, a high-end hotel.
The future of the Hôtel-Dieu of Paris has been a topic of discussion for many years, but it hides a unique hotel in its corridors in France.
