Abstract
Saint-Lazare was the Congregation’s motherhouse from 1632 to 1792, when it was confiscated and turned into a prison for enemies of the French Revolution. Shortly afterward it became a women’s prison and continued as such until 1932. It was demolished in 1940. The prison’s history is given, accompanied by fourteen images.
