The monastery was founded in Dreux in 1860 by the Sisters of Avignon. In 1940, the city was bombed. The community found refuge in Niort and then moved to Vouvant in the Vendée in 1941. At the Liberation, the monastery of Dreux, in too bad a state, was sold. The chapel of the monastery of Vouvant was consecrated in 1959. In 1997, the community moved to La Roche-sur-Yon at the suggestion of Bishop Garnier.

The Visitandines offer 3 possibilities of welcome:

On the one hand in a monastic hostel on the1st floor, without lift. Meals are provided (you can also organise your own meals with a minimum of equipment: fridge, microwave oven and heating cupboard). The stay is from 1 to 8 days. Welcome for ladies and gentlemen. And also an independent house (Bethany).

And on the other hand, a special welcome to the Visitation order, in enclosure, for ladies, young girls or religious. These retreatants have their meals with the community and have access to the monastery grounds. They are free to organize their day. They are asked to respect silence and to spend the duration of their stay in the enclosure, which is a maximum of 8 days. The chapel is open to all from 6.45 am to 7 or 8 pm. Reception: 5 rooms in the enclosure and 5 rooms outside the enclosure, one of which has two beds, on thefirst floor, without lift. In a monastic hostel for stays of 8 days maximum + the Bethany house with 4 rooms (kitchen, living room, garden) in autonomy.
