The Collège of Bernardins, or Collège Saint-Bernard, located no 20, rue de Poissy in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is a former Cistercian college of the University of Paris. Founded by Stephen of Lexington, abbot of Clairvaux, and built from 1248 with the encouragement of Pope Innocent IV, it served until the French Revolution as the residence for the Cistercian monks who were studying at the University of Paris.Jacques Hillairet, Gibets, piloris et cachots du vieux Paris, éditions de minuit, 1956, {{p.|245}}.Jean Allemane Mémoires d'un communard, éditions La Découverte, Paris 2001, {{p.|160-161}}.
