L’Hôpital. [The Hospital]. Il est mentionné des 1262 dans un faubourg de la ville sur la route de Béziers. Un hôpital est alors un lieu de charité plus que de soins. Celui-ci est aussi un asile sur le chemin de Saint Jacques. Sa présence fut précieuse pendant les crises malariennes des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, provoquées par la proximeté de l’étang. Le bâtiment actuel a été reconstruit entre 1746 et 1749.

The current building was rebuilt between 1746 and 1749.]
