Vincentian Paris

 

The city of Paris with its surrounding villages was the center of Vincent de Paul's life from about 1610 to his death in 1660. Since his involvement with the city was so rich and varied, the material in this section fails into three major sections, reflecting the three major parts of the city: Left Bank, the Islands, and the Right Bank. Within each section, the materials are divided by arrondissements, the present-day urban arrangement of Paris districts. The numbering of the arrondissements begins at the center of the city, on the island, Ile de la Cite', and generally spirals away in a clockwise direction. The city is further divided into smaller traditional neighborhoods, mentioned here only in passing. At the end are some notes on suburban locations.
