Caserne des Petits-Pères
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caserne des Petits-Pères (lit. 'barracks of the Little Fathers'), also known as Caserne de la Banque, is a barracks building at 12, rue de la Banque in Paris. It was erected for the Garde Nationale de Paris, which in 1871 was replaced by the Republican Guard. Like the nearby Place des Petits-Pères, it takes its name from the former convent of discalced Augustinians (known colloquially as the "little fathers") on whose grounds the rue de la Banque was opened in the 1840s.
