The Aligre Foundation stands on the site of the former Notre-Dame de Josaphat abbey, founded in 1117 by Geoffroy de Lèves, and his brother Goslein, lord of Lèves. It served as a necropolis for the bishops of Chartres and was notably the burial place of John of Salisbury, who died in 1180.

In 1791, during the Revolution, the abbey was partly demolished and pillaged. After the Revolution, the remains of the abbey became the property of the Aligre family, originally from Chartres and with a considerable fortune.

In 1968, when the agricultural land intended to meet financial needs no longer yielded enough, the Aligre foundation was no longer able to balance its accounts. It was decided by the board of directors to merge with the Marie-Thérèse Hospice and become a departmental public establishment, known since then as the Aligre and Marie-Thérèse Foundation.

The Fondation d'Aligre et Marie-Thérèse establishment, which is in fact an "Accommodation Establishment for Dependent Elderly People", has the possibility of offering pleasant accommodation for 144 elderly people.

It is also an archaeological site, where some sculptures of ancient objects have been recovered.
