The Couvent des Jacobins de la rue Saint-Honoré, later known as the Club des Jacobins, was a Dominican monastery located on the Rue Saint-Honore in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France. The convent was founded in 1611 with permission from King Louis XIII of France and Queen Marie de Medici, and its library was founded in 1613; by 1787, the library held 32,000 books and 132 manuscripts. The monastery was suppressed in 1790 during the French Revolution, and its library was confiscated and moved to a depot at a nearby convent. The Couvent des Jacobins was then rented to the "Friends of Constitution", who became popularly known as the Jacobin Club. In July 1794, Theroigne de Mericourt led a mob to slaughter the last Jacobins as they holed up at their clubhouse and attempted to flee Paris through its secret tunnels amid the Thermidorian Reaction. The buildings were demolished in 1806.
