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.^[1]^[2]

After an overall renovation completed in September 2008,^[3] it is now a place for meetings, dialogues, training and culture. It offers a program of public conferences and symposia, exhibitions, concerts, activities for young people and a theological and biblical studies center. The Ecole Cathédrale offers coursework on Christian thought and every year enrolls over 3,000 students in its courses.^[4] Since 2009, it has housed the Académie catholique de France.

The college was listed as a French historical monument in 10 February 1871.^[5] The Foundation des Bernardins, which operates the college, is placed under the control of the Notre-Dame cathedral foundation, both of which are supervised by the government of France. In 2023, 28.8% of the college's budget was paid by the catholic Diocese of Paris.^[6]
