Why visit
Le Kremlin-Bicêtre is where Giuseppe Cambini died on 29 December 1825, a composer of the eighteenth century whose catalogue survives in European archives.
Origins and history
In the Middle Ages the territory of the present commune belonged to the parish of Gentilly, and until the eighteenth century the history of Le Kremlin-Bicêtre merges with that of the domain that became the château and then the hospital of Bicêtre — probably the only building on that ground in the whole period. The first owner mentioned there is Pierre le Queux, who held a domain called La Grange-aux-Queulx, said to have been given to him by Louis VIII. Around 1250 the domain was bought by Louis IX, who, wishing to favour the monastic institutions, installed a colony of Carthusians there; they abandoned the building a few years later for the castel Vauvert.
