Irish College, Paris

Single 65c stamp.

The Irish College in Paris was founded by Fr. John Lee of Waterford in 1578 and is credited with providing spiritual, educational and cultural leadership through a long and illustrious history.

Situated on Rue des Irlandais in the Latin quarter of Paris, its beautiful restoration in 2002 and the establishment of the Irish Cultural Centre as its core function has ensured its place as a leader in the development of Franco - Irish relations.
