As early as the 15th century, mention was made of the presence in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine of a Benedictine monastery. In the 17th century, the nuns of the Pommeraye settled there after new constructions. The sale of the Biens Nationaux in 1793 mentions a large inner barnyard with a foot dovecote. Purchased in 1852 by Abbé Sicardy, the Abbey of Saint-Antoine-lès-Sens was redeveloped for the installation of the Sisters of Providence who merged with the Sisters of Charity of Nevers in 1959.
