History
Bégin Military Teaching Hospital was created by the order of Napoleon III on April 21, 1855 to help treat the wounded in the Crimean War. It helped support the Val-de-Grâce hospital which experienced difficulties in accommodating all of the injured. The hospital was inaugurated on May 31, 1858 under the name of hôpital militaire de Vincennes (Vincennes military hospital). It was built on the former site of the royal menagerie of Vincennes Castle.
