Charenton is the name or part of the name of several places:

Charenton (asylum)

Charenton was a lunatic asylum, founded in 1645 by the Frères de la Charité in Charenton-Saint-Maurice, now Saint-Maurice, Val-de-Marne, France.

Charenton was known for its humanitarian treatment of patients, especially under its director the Abbé de Coulmier in the early 19th century.

Usage examples of "charenton".

Paris need not fear the boches at all, went that story, because the gunboat could freely cruise the sinuosities of the Seine throughout the city, the Ourcq Canal and the Marne through Charenton.

The work was of course done under my supervision, but it was done hurriedly—haphazardly, I fear—and she was inflated with coal gas at the Gare de Lyon, then run up on a tether from the Quai de Bercy, to see if the observer she carries can make out what the boches are doing south of Charenton, in the way of preparation for an assault.
