[FR] "Pourquoi Pernelle Aufrédy ?
Au début du 13ème siècle, Dame Aufrédy et son époux ont fondé le premier hôpital de La Rochelle, l’aumônerie Barthélémy. Ce couple de négociants fortunés pensait avoir tout perdu après une expédition échouée. Pourtant, les navires finirent par revenir. De nouveau riches, Alexandre et Pernelle ont décidé de se consacrer aux pauvres dont ils avaient partagé la condition.
Cette histoire incarne des valeurs qui sont celles de l’établissement et celles de tous les hospitaliers : solidarité, fraternité, humilité, tolérance."

C'est devant cette maternité que vous trouverez cette magnifique sculpture qui représente la naissance d'un enfant.
