Jouarre Abbey (Abbaye Notre-Dame de Jouarre) is a Benedictine abbey in Jouarre in the département of Seine-et-Marne. This Merovingian foundation was established around 630, by Adon, son of Saint Authaire (Audecharius), inspired by a visit of St. Columbanus. His first cousin, Thelchildes, who had been educated at the abbey of Faremoutiers, became Abbess. As part of its Celtic heritage, Jouarre was established as a "double community," i.e., a community of monks as well as nuns, both under the rule of the abbess, following a mixed rule. Charlemagne later imposed the Rule of Saint Benedict. More information...
