Former military barracks located at 26 rue de Charenton in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, the barracks of the Musketeers Noirs dates from the late seventeenth century. Listed as a Historical Monument, the building originally housed the second company of musketeers, nicknamed the dress of their horses.
The company was abolished in 1775, and the barracks of Black Musketeers then housed the Hospital of Quatre-Vingts in 1779. A large part of the building was destroyed, it remains today only some original elements as the conciergerie, the choir, the apse, and the two straight bays of the chapel Saint-Rémy.
