OrígenesFoundation by Clairvaux in 1126 (monks); expulsion in 1790; restored by monks from the Desert (1875-1918), new foundation by sisters from Laval in 1929.The three Cistercian communities in north-east France, Belval 14*, Grâce Dieu 20* and Igny 23*, at the end of a time of reflection, consultation and voting chose to unite and to regroup at the Abbey of Igny. Mother Inès GRAVIER, Superior ad nutum of Belval, designated as Superior of the new community, was named Apostolic Administrator on 10/09/2008. After the agreement of the General Chapter of Abbesses in 2008, the Holy See approved the three communities by decree, on December 8, 2008. This is the birth date of the new community of Notre-Dame du Val d’Igny 14*. In 2010, the Cistercian community of Ubexy in the Vosges requested to join the sisters of Val d’Igny. This plan, approved by the General Chapter in September 2011 and then by Rome the following month, came to fruition in August 2012 with the arrival of the sisters.
