Le couvent des capucins du faubourg Saint-Jacques était un couvent parisien des Frères mineurs capucins, situé rue des Capucins, aujourd'hui boulevard de Port-Royal, à l'angle avec la rue du Faubourg-Saint-Jacques. Fondé en 1613 par François-Godefroy de La Tour, il a été fermé en 1783 et transformé en hôpital, qui fait partie aujourd'hui de l'hôpital Cochin.

Port-Royal Abbey was an abbey in Paris that was a stronghold of Jansenism. Cistercian nuns moved from the older abbey, Port-Royal-des-Champs, founded in 1204, to Paris and founded Port-Royal-de-Paris in 1626. There were frequent controversies as the sisters struggled against authorities in the church and at court. Some of the sisters returned to the medieval convent. Until it was dissolved in 1709, the Parisian abbey was highly influential and often in the news. It is today the site of an urban hospital, the Hopitâl Cochin.

The Hôpital Cochin is a public hospital situated on Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Jacques, Paris 14e. It houses the main burn treatment centre of the city. The Hôpital Cochin is an affiliate of the Faculté de Médecine Paris-Cité. It is named after Jean-Denis Cochin, curé of the parish of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas, who founded a hospital for the workers and poor of this quarter of Paris.
Since 1990, a biomedical research centre, the Institut Cochin, has been affiliated with the hospital. It was reorganised in 2002 to encompass genetic research, molecular biology and cellular biology, with a staff of about 600. It is part of both INSERM and CNRS, integrated into the Université Paris Cité.
In 2004, the Maison de Solenn, a shelter for adolescents named after Solenn Poivre d'Arvor, has opened in the hospital with the active support of Bernadette Chirac.

On 3 December 1996 an IED detonated on the southbound tracks of the Port-Royal Réseau Express Régional station in Paris, France. Four people were killed in the bombing: two French citizens, a Moroccan and a Canadian.
Following the bombing, French officials activated the "Vigipirate" nationwide security plan drawn up a year earlier in the wake of a series of bombings by the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria. The plan included police and army patrols in sensitive public areas and spot checks across the country.
Jean-Louis Bruguière and Jean-François Ricard were in charge of the bombing file. No group took responsibility for the attack, but the GIA was suspected of being behind the attack. However, unlike this bombing, the group had claimed all the bombings in the campaign.
