source Religious heritage:
Guillaume Belotteau donated vast grounds to the Augustins in 1624 to build a convent under the name of Saint Monique (after historical works). When Father Boniface died on April 6, 1634, the convent was not finished, however it would be when Guillaume Belotteau died in 1641. Currently, the convent buildings rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries are in place as well as part arches of the cloister, and the chapel transformed into a hangar.
