The {{lang|fr|Val-de-Grâce}} ({{lang|fr|Hôpital d'instruction des armées du Val-de-Grâce}} or {{lang|fr|HIA Val-de-Grâce}}) is a military hospital located at {{lang|fr|74 boulevard de Port-Royal}} in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France.

History

The church of the {{lang|fr|Val-de-Grâce|nocat=y}} was built by order of Queen Anne of Austria, wife of Louis XIII. After the birth of her son Louis XIV, Anne (previously childless after 23 years of marriage) showed her gratitude to the Virgin Mary by building a church on the land of a Benedictine convent. Louis XIV himself is said to have laid the cornerstone for the {{lang|fr|Val-de-Grâce}} in a ceremony that took place April 1, 1645, when he was seven years old.[1]

The church of the Val-de-Grâce, designed by {{lang|fr|François Mansart}} and {{lang|fr|Jacques Lemercier}}, is considered by some as Paris's best example of baroque architecture (curving lines, elaborate ornamentation, and harmony of different elements). Construction began in 1645, and was completed in 1667.[2]

The Benedictine nuns provided medical care for injured revolutionaries during the French Revolution, and thus the church at {{lang|fr|Val-de-Grâce}} was spared much of the desecration and vandalism that plagued other, more famous Paris churches (for example, {{lang|fr|Notre-Dame}} was looted and turned into a warehouse, and {{lang|fr|Saint-Eustache}} was used as a barn). As a result, the church's exquisite interior is one of the few unspoiled remnants of Paris's pre-Revolution grandeur.[3] Following the Revolution, the buildings were converted into a military hospital.

Currently, the original buildings only serve for offices and teaching facilities ({{lang|fr|École d'application du Service de santé des armées}}); the actual medical facilities are inside a large modern building to the east on the same grounds.[1]

The present-day hospital was built in the 1970s and completed in 1979. It has a capacity of 350 beds, in various specialties. The hospital is accessible to military personnel in need of medical aid as well as to any person with health coverage under the French social security system. It is famous for being the place where the top officials of the French Republic generally get treated for ailment.

The statue standing in the courtyard is that of {{lang|fr|Dominique Jean Larrey}} (as sculpted by {{lang|fr|David d'Angers}} in 1843), who was Napoleon's personal surgeon and innovator of the concept of battlefield triage.[4]

The old abbey alongside the church is now a museum of French army medicine. Tours of the museum and church are available for a small fee (being a military facility, the grounds are under military guard and tourists are escorted). Cameras are not permitted except for inside the church itself.[5]

The last emperor of Vietnam, {{lang|vi|Bảo Đại}}, died at {{lang|fr|Val-de-Grâce}} hospital on July 30, 1997, aged 83.

People buried at Val-de-Grâce

{{lang|fr|Val-de-Grâce}} was later the traditional burial place for members of the House of Orléans, cadet of the House of Bourbon:
  • {{lang|fr|Mademoiselle de Valois}} (1693–94), daughter of Philippe II, Duke of Orléans
  • Louis, Duke of Orléans (1703–52)
  • Margravine Auguste of Baden-Baden, {{lang|fr|duchesse d'Orléans}} (1704–26)
  • {{lang|fr|Louise Marie}}, Mademoiselle (1726–28), daughter of the above who died in childbirth giving birth to Louise Marie
  • {{lang|fr|Louis Philippe}} (1725–85), son of Louis
  • {{lang|fr|Louise Henriette de Bourbon}} (1726–59), wife of the above

Impact on the arts

{{Unreferenced section |date=April 2007}}

During World War I, {{lang|fr|Louis Aragon}} and {{lang|fr|André Breton}}, surrealist artists, were enlisted as physicians-in-training at the hospital. As a part of the French government's efforts to keep morale up during the war, a museum of reconstructive surgery was built in the hospital. The exhibits consisted of wax sculptures of deformed human faces and the results of reconstructive surgery. A look at the museum reveals that there is almost no doubt that the exhibits influenced the two artists and eventually the surrealist movement, which frequently deals with themes of dismemberment and disfigurement.
