Paul Bailliart

Paul Alfred Marie Bailliart (9 November 1877, in Poitiers – 29 October 1969, in Val-de-Grâce, in Paris) was a French ophthalmologist.

[1] Bailliart graduated from the lycée of Besançon and then joined the army in the École du Service de Santé of Lyon to acquire an education in medicine.

Bailliart was a military doctor during WW I[2] and joined in 1929, as department head, the Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital and remained in that position until his retirement in 1943.

He also served a term as the president of the European Society of Ophthalmology (SOE) and in various capacities for several other international organizations.

In this house and under its aegis, Bailliart's granddaughter and her husband Raymond Rodriguez created in the 1960s the Centre Culturel de Massy (CCM).
