The community was founded in 1937 by the Carmel of Nogent-sur-Marne at Plessis-Robinson near Paris. In the 1950’s, the sisters moved to be further from the town, and they bought a large dwelling, the “Chateau de Frileuse”, with a garden, and trees which are magnificent in all seasons. The dilapidated buildings were rebuilt a little at a time. The Chapel, work of the architect Hervé Dubourg, was consecrated in 1982. We live Carmelite life, a life of friendship with Christ and between sisters, which is at both at a certain distance from, but also mindful of what is being lived in our world. The chapel of Carmel of Frileuse at Briis sous Forges is open every day. You are welcome to stop off and participate in the community’s liturgy. In the Diocese of Evry – Corbeil-Essonnes, the Carmel of Frileuse at Briis sous Forges, along with the other religious communities, is a presence of prayer and a place of peace at the heart of a multi-faceted department in the Parisian peripheries.
