Built in 1840, the former hospital of Auxerre has an orderly layout of alternating pavilions and garden courtyards. Its rehabilitation as a quality residential development offers an alternative to the standard urban housing options (city-centre apartments or detached houses) and reduces urban sprawl. The project also contributes to developing the north entrance to Auxerre, from the vineyards to the Old Town.
