Pentemont Abbey, Baroque abbey in 7th arrondissement, France
The Pentemont Abbey stands at the intersection of Rue de Grenelle and Rue de Bellechasse, featuring stone buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Founded near Beauvais in 1217, the Cistercian convent relocated to Paris in 1672 following the directives of King Louis XIV to establish a new religious center.
The abbey functioned as an educational institution for noble daughters in Paris during the late 18th century, including Thomas Jefferson's children during his diplomatic service.
The former chapel now serves as Temple de Pentemont, a Protestant church established in 1844, while other sections house government offices.
Joséphine de Beauharnais, future Empress of France, found refuge at Pentemont Abbey during her separation from her first husband.
