Its premises were located in rue Saint-André-des-Arts in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. The collège was home to 15 students, who studied theology, law or philosophy.

Along with other Parisian colleges, the collège d'Autun merged with the collège Louis-le-Grand in 1764. It then formally disappeared, and its premises were later on demolished.[2]
