Tips

At this location, you are standing in front of the memorial of Blessed Jeanne Gérard, a nun with the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, who devoted her life to the sick and the poor and met a tragic end. In fact, she was beheaded during the Terror. Jeanne Gérard was the first of the four nuns to be guillotined on 25 June 1794. In 1920, they were all beatified by Pope Pius X.

Historical context:

Because Jeanne Gérard refused to take the constitutional oath, she was arrested and transferred to Cambrai in 1794, where she was guillotined. She was beatified in 1920 and given the title of ‘Blessed’. A monument was erected in Cumières in her memory in 1960. A bas-relief of her image is still visible.
