PIERRE DUFOUR CONVENT

The Pierre Dufour Convent, established in the village since the arrival of the Ursulines in 1837, was home to 28 nuns in 1903. Unfortunately, in 1904, laws hostile to religious congregations forced their dispersal, marking the end of their active presence in the convent.

Later, in 1919 according to some information (which could not be confirmed), the Ursulines permanently left the premises. The fate of the convent then took a new turn when it was converted into a holiday camp, providing a recreational space for many children.

However, this transformation did not last, and the convent ultimately closed its doors in the 1970s. Today, it remains as a historic relic, bearing witness to the presence of the Ursulines and the changing uses of the site over time.
