The Irish College in Paris (Irish: Coláiste na nGael,[1] French: Collège des Irlandais, Latin: Collegium Clericorum Hibernoram [citation needed]) was for three centuries a major Roman Catholic educational establishment for Irish students. It was founded in the late 16th century, and closed down by the French government in the early 20th century. From 1945 to 1997, the Polish seminary in Paris was housed in the building. It is now an Irish cultural centre, the Centre Culturel Irlandais.
