Facts and practical information

The abbey of Notre-Dame d'Yerres was built between 1124 and 1132, under the episcopate of Étienne de Senlis, and thanks to the gift of four acres of land from Eustachie de Corbeil, daughter of Ferry de Châtillon, wife of Baudoin de Corbeil, then of Jean d'Étampes, to accommodate nuns in transit from house to house, "wandering far from their homes. They came from different monasteries, from Champagne, Picardy, and Argenteuil, after their expulsion from the abbey of Sainte-Marie d'Argenteuil directed by Heloise. The abbey was part of the diocese of Sens in the Île-de-France region, and was located at the confluence of the Réveillon and Yerres rivers, about fifteen kilometers south of Paris.
