the chapel where in 1430 Joan of Arc obtained the resurrection of a child in Lagny-sur-Marne

The facade of this renowned abbey church overlooks the Town Hall Square, while a small garden accessible from Paul Bert Street offers a spectacular view of its polygonal chevet. Originally, Saint-Pierre Abbey was founded in the 7th century by Saint Fursy. Numerous destructions, reconstructions and works followed one another over the centuries and Norman invasions, fires and other historical events. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the evil of the ardent (ergotism) caused many victims in the region, leading the population to come and beg the Virgin to save the sick, giving the place its definitive name. The abbey was reformed several times, notably in 1641 when the Benedictines of the Saint-Maur congregation settled. During the French Revolution, the place was emptied of its last occupants and its cloister converted into a military hospital, then into a Town Hall. The abbey church itself then officially became the parish church of Lagny-sur-Marne. Inside, the purple hues predominate, and the visitor is irremediably drawn to the chapel where in 1430 Joan of Arc obtained the resurrection of a child.
