Monastery for women only, for retreats in the sharing of prayer, with a bookbinding workshop.
Founded in Dol-de-Bretagne in 1627, the monastery of the Visitandines was transferred to Caen in 1631, near the Abbey of Men and the Romanesque church of Saint-Étienne. It was here that Léonie, the sister of Saint Thérèse-de-l’Enfant-Jésus, lived between 1899 and 1941. The crypt of the chapel houses her tomb. The nuns welcome women only, for individual retreats in the sharing of prayer. They also run a bookbinding workshop and a hostel for students.

Visitazione di Nostra Signora di Caen. Dopo diversi tentativi non andati a buon fine, in questo luogo visse una delle sorelle di S. Teresa di Lisieux, Leonie, in religione suor Francesca Teresa. Faticó non poco per realizzare la sua vocazione religiosa, ma con tanta preghiera e tanto abbandono alla divina Misericordia riuscì una santa monaca. È qui sepolta. È invocata per tutti i ragazzi con problemi nella crescita e nell'educazione. La comunità semplice ed accogliente ha una piccola foresteria molto buona. Commovente la tomba di Leonie. Si respira la bellezza di una vita donata. Un luogo da consigliare
