A place steeped in history
The Aincourt sanatorium was a cure center specializing in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (phthisis) located in the village of Aincourt (department of Val-d'Oise) in France.
The sanatorium, currently located in the regional natural park of French Vexin, was built by architects Édouard Crevel and Paul Decaux between 1931 and 1933. It is one of the largest complexes of this category built in the 20th century. It was also a concentration camp between 1940 and 1942.
The old sanatorium of Aincourt has been in ruins for more than 30 years.

Worth seeing. A striking contrast with the current hospital next door, which has a building copied from the sanatorium.
