Couvent des Clarisses

Installed in 1632 in this medieval bourgeois house, the Poor Clares taught "the fear of God", catechism, reading, writing, sewing and good morals. Their properties extended to the boundary of the present bailiwick hall where the main chapel was to be held. The novices' cells were installed on the gallery under which a chapel was located. The site is known for having welcomed Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque who made her first communion there. Remains: 15th century stair towers and mullioned window, 16th century gallery and window on the façade.
