'''Centre rue Burq''' — Rigpa's first centre in Paris. It opened in 1978 and was located in a small residential building, situated in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, on the Butte Montmartre. The building still stands today, next to a small public garden, but Rigpa has moved out since 1995. This centre was blessed by the presence of many great masters such as Kyabje [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] (in 1980), Kyabjé [[Ling Rinpoche]], Kyabje [[Dudjom Rinpoche]], [[Dzogchen Rinpoche]], Kyabje [[Kalu Rinpoche]] and Kyabje [[Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche]].

In 1981 the centre moved to [[rue Denis Poisson, Paris|rue Denis Poisson]] and in 1982 formally became 'Rigpa France'. Rigpa then returned to rue Burq in 1987, remaining there until 1995. 

After moving to temporary rented centres in [[rue Blanche, Paris|rue Blanche]] and [[L'Orangeraie, Paris|L'Orangeraie]], Rigpa finally bought, in 1998, its own centre in [[Rigpa centre, Levallois|Levallois]], on the outskirts of Paris.

Former address:
22, rue Burq;
75018 Paris.
