It
is
located
south
of
the
city
and
west
of
the
Limbert
Gate.
It
was
restored
in
1868-1869,
then
after
the
bombings
of
1944.
The
former
names
were
Portal
Saint-Antoine,
then
Porte
de
la
Liberté
in
1792.
We
said
when
speaking
of
the
Place
des
Corps-Saints,
that
very
near
the
gate
of
Rome,
or
the
Pont-Fract,
was
a
poorhouse
which,
since
1310,
had
come
under
the
abbey
of
Saint-Ruf.
The
cemetery
dependent
on
this
hospice
was
outside
the
city
walls,
and
we
will
hardly
believe
that
this
place
has
become
the
common
meeting
place
for
the
debauchees
of
the
populace.
Jean,
or
Jourdain
de
Coïardan,
bishop
of
Avignon,
acting
with
the
consent
of
the
Chapter
of
Notre-Dame
des
Doms
and
that
of
the
prior
of
Saint-Didier,
in
whose
parish
jurisdiction
this
cemetery
was
located,
wanted
to
put
an
end
to
to
these
scandals
by
having
a
chapel
built
there,
which
he
dedicated
to
Saint-Michel
the
Archangel.
He
established
a
perpetual
chaplain
who
said
mass
there,
every
day,
for
the
souls
of
the
poor
whose
bodies
rested
in
this
cemetery.
Saint-Pierre
de
Luxembourg.
Subsequently,
having
elected
by
humility
his
tomb
among
the
poor
who
were
buried
in
this
place,
the
miracles
which
took
place
through
his
intercession
and
through
contact
of
his
relics,
attracted
Célestine
monks
who
settled
there
in
1393.
The
first
stone
of
their
convent
was
solemnly
established
this
year,
in
the
name
of
Charles
VI,
King
of
France,
by
the
Dukes
of
Berry,
of
Orléans
and
Burgundy,
and
the
church
was
consecrated
on
Sunday
October
10,
1406,
by
John,
bishop
of
Apt.
Independently
of
these
establishments
which
were
on
the
west
side
of
rue
Saint-Michel,
there
was,
on
the
east
side
of
the
same
street,
the
second
monastery
of
the
Visitandines,
known
under
the
name
of
Saint-Georges.
It
was
established
on
November
22,
1578
by
the
Cadinal
of
Armagnac,
in
the
old
hospital
known
as
Lombards.
We
do
not
know
not
the
time
of
the
founding
of
this
hospital,
but
we
know
that
in
1298,
it
was
already
in
full
operation.
To
the
north
of
the
buildings
of
Saint-Georges,
was
the
house
of
the
Orphelines
which
has
already
been
spoken
about
on
the
rue
Rôleur.
