In 2016, the Visitation Museum celebrates the Founders of the Order:
Jane Frances de Chantal and Francis de Sales, who marked their epoch.
The objects that belonged to them, exhibited for the first time, are rare and precious testimonies of
their lives at the beginning of the 17th century.
Far from the image of Epinal and the Sulpician iconography, the Visitation Museum
invites the public to discover the real life of these two great historic characters during
the reigns of the Kings Henry IV and Louis XIII.
The De Sales family and the Visitandines are very attached to the founding of their Order and preserved
many memorials of their earthly life:Clothing, utensils, Civil and liturgical objects, and original portraits. These objects of everyday life in the early seventeenth century are rare examples today because very little everyday objects of the time are still preserved in public and private collections.
