Marie Jean Herault de Sechelles, a key figure in the French Revolution (1789-1799), once gifted the Abbey Royale de Chelles in Seine et Marne to Louise Adelaide d'Orleans, later Duchess of Chartres. This Perspective plan or elevation of the Abbaye de Chelles showcases its grandeur. In the past, the Abbess provided aid to the citizens of France, supporting poor scholars as early as 1257. Fast forward to 1870, Louise Adelaide d'Orleans, also known as "Louise Ad," continued her philanthropic efforts. However, the tranquility of the Abbey was disrupted during World War 1 when debris from a crashed German plane littered its grounds. The history of this remarkable place echoes resilience and endurance.
