(St), a village of France, two miles from Verfailles, remarkable for a nunnery founded here by Louis XIV. The nuns are obliged to take care of the education of 250 girls, who must prove their families to have been noble from the 4th generation on the father's side. They cannot enter before 7, nor after 12 years of age; and they continue there till they are 20 years and 3 months old. The house is a most magnificent structure.
