history

Nancy

Katharina von Lothringen (1573–1648), daughter of Duke Charles III. and from 1611 abbess of Remiremont , founded the nunnery Notre-Dame-de-Consolation (Maria Trost) in Nancy in 1625 . Margaret of Lothringen (1615–1672), daughter of Francis II and wife of Gaston de Bourbon, duc d'Orléans , managed to incorporate this monastery into the reform congregation of the Benedictine Sisters of the Holy Sacrament founded by Mechtilde de Bar . The convent existed in this form (in the Rue Saint-Dizier) from 1669 until it was dissolved in 1792 by the French Revolution . There are no leftovers.

Nancy macarons

In Nancy, the nuns made pastries, the famous macarons . Some of the survivors of the revolution continued this activity in a street that was later called “Rue des Sœurs-Macarons”. Today there is a “Maison des Soeurs Macarons” on Rue Gambetta, near Rue Saint-Dizier.

Saint-Nicolas-de-Port

In 1812 the surviving nuns teamed up with those of the monasteries of Toul and Rambervillers and began a new monastic life in the vacant monastery of the Augustinian choir women in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port .
