A historical site
In the middle of the 17th century, Benedictine sisters fled the Lorraine wars to find refuge in Paris. First placed on rue Férou, in the current Odéon district, they were later transferred to rue Cassette (at the time, "rue Casset") in 1659, under Anne of Austria's protection, mother of Louis XIV. This new building, located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, was named the "Monastery of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament" and extended as far as rue du Cherche-Midi and rue de Vaugirard.
