Existence of the community mentioned in a deed of 697. In the 12th century, the nuns are expelled from the abbey (the last abbess is Héloïse, who takes refuge at the Paraclet), which transforms into a priory of Saint-Denis. The prosperity of the monastery diminishes from the 15th century onwards. The buildings, partly in ruins, are sold as national assets in 1792 and demolished until the end of the 19th century.
