The Hôpital Saint-Charles, now the Maison des Choeurs and a luxury residence, is one of the major facilities to have contributed to Montpellier's reputation as a medical center. From the chapel to the clinics, the hospital has seen some of the world's greatest names walk its halls
This general hospital, with its chapel, was created by the will of Louis XIV, and was also a place of confinement for the poor and vagrants, before becoming the major healthcare facility that many Montpellier residents have come to know.
