READ ABOUT IT:  “In Ancien Régime Paris the name ‘Saint-Lazare’ would have immediately conjured up images of the venerable mother house of the Lazaristes located on the rue Saint-Denis just outside the city gates. This vast headquarters 
 was also the site of the oft-visited pilgrimage shrine containing the remains of the quintessential French saint, Vincent de Paul.   ??However, throughout the 19th and into the first third of the 20th century the name ‘Saint-Lazare’ would have immediately conjured up very different images of a notorious prison housing prostitutes, delinquent girls, and other women prisoners and convicts. The name and the place in both cases are one and the same.”  -From Chapter 1 of the online exhibit
