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
