St. Francis de Sales came to preach in the Church which is then the first parish to the prayers of forty hours devotion to dear Mr. Bourdoise .

In 1612 , Adrien Bourdoise founded the seminary of Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet, thanks to George Froget priest, doctor regent of the Faculty of Theology .

Renan describes the seminar : "The seminary of St. Nicolas du Chardonnet, situated next to the church of that name, between the Rue Saint-Victor and the Rue de Pontoise , had become since the Revolution, the small seminary of the diocese of Paris. That was not his original destination. In the great reform movement church in France that marked the first half of the ^seventeenth century and which are attached the names of Vincent de Paul , of Olier , of Berulle , Father Eudes , the Church of St. Nicolas du Chardonnet played a role analogous to that of Saint-Sulpice, though less significant. This parish, which took its name from the field of thistles well known to students of the University of Paris in the Middle Ages, was the center of a rich neighborhood, inhabited mostly by the judiciary. As Olier founded the seminary of St. Sulpice, Adrien de Bourdoise founded the company of priests Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet, and made the house and established a nursery of young priests who existed until the Revolution. But the company of Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet was not, as the company Saint-Sulpice , mother of similar institutions in the rest of France. "

Brotherhood Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet: After her widowhood, Louise de Marillac , half-ruined, comes to live on Rue Saint-Victor with little Michael. It will be three successive homes from 1626 to 1631. The son of Louise de Marillac was repo in 1628 at the Petit Sminaire de Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet and Louise de Marillac obtained from St. Vincent de Paul founding a Brotherhood of Charity in the Parish. In 1630 was born in Saint-Nicolas, the second Brotherhood of Charity called Brotherhood of St. Nicolas du Chardonnet under the supervision of Margaret Naseau Suresnes whose articles are written by St. Vincent de Paul. Saint Nicolas du Chardonnet became the cradle of a congregation that later became the Daughters of Charity Servants of the Poor in 1654.

He is the head of two religious institutions, soon joined into one, founded by Miss Blosset, spiritual daughter of Mr. Bourdoise, then taken to his death by Marie Bonneau, Madame de Miramon in 1636 and dedicated to the care of sick and the education of children, The Daughters of St. Genevieve and the Congregation of the Holy Family: "The conclusion of this marriage gave ^Ms. de Miramion (hence the name given to Miramion Daughters of St. Genevieve) the freedom to form a small congregation personally, called the Holy Family, which consisted of six members, although the Saint-Antoine, who came close but just before St. Nicolas du Chardonnet. Another community under the name of girls Sainte-Genevieve , had been established fairly recently by ^Miss Blosset at the corner of Bakers and Rue des Fosses-Saint-Victor (added to the rue du Cardinal Lemoine). Feret, pastor of St. Nicolas, was the superior of the two institutions, and no one was dedicated in no less than one in another without taking the habit, visiting the sick, preparing drugs and maintenance of small schools. The Daughters of St. Genevieve, becoming Miramion, continued to distribute ointments, plasters and juleps as to make slits for free, but they received, in addition to poor children, young residents for which they paid from 4 to 600 pounds per year.

The Oath

Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet lives like all of France the division of clergy as priests nonjurors, unsworn, refractory to Republican ideas or loyal to the king (of the parish did not escape alive), and sworn priests, sworn constitutional, subject to favorable or Republican ideas. Mulot Francis Valentine , Abbey Saint-Victor nearby future member, has made 1789 a Discourse on Liberty which mixes biblical themes and themes Republicans, again on the occasion of the ceremony of swearing. But this oath is considered schismatic and proposals of the Civil Constitution of clergy as non-Catholic by many priests. 2 September 1789 2 September 1792 is the elimination of refractory clergy to the oath.

The parish is a National Property - Vandalism revolutionary

"During the Revolution, the church was closed in 1795, praised the" civic Pothain. That same year, Alexandre Lenoir transfers the art of Saint-Nicolas des Petits Augustins Reserve, furniture, altars, carvings are sold and the altar is broken.

The statues of St. Nicolas and St. Genevieve in the foothills disappear, the butt of the bishop and the Cross, on the pediment are transformed into pikes revolutionaries.

In 1810, Philibert Bruillard was appointed pastor of St. Nicolas du Chardonnet. Philibert signing and noisy, he joined the two names and names of Philibert Bruillard adding to his arms three lilies of France.

Jean-Felix Pdegert, abbot (1809-1889), poet Gascon , entered the seminary in 1821. Jean-Felix Pdegert began writing poetry in Gascony in 1825, when he was a student at the graduate seminary of Saint-Nicolas de Chardonnet .

Felix Dupanloup had charge of the seminar, which then had two hundred students until 1845. He completely reform the intention of making a crucible where the boys would mix of rich and elite families of poor students seminars province. He did so coming in 1848 Ernest Renan , from the seminar Trguier.

Ernest Renan : "In addition, the Society of Nicolaites does not revived after the Revolution like that of the Sulpicians, the building of the Rue Saint-Victor remained moot, the Concordat, we gave the diocese of Paris to serve as a small seminar. Until 1837 this property had no luster. The revival of the brilliant scholar and worldly clericalism is between 1830 and 1840. St. Nicolas was during the first third of the century, an obscure religious establishment, the studies were small, the number of students remained far below the needs of the diocese. A priest led the remarkable, yet it was m. Father Brother, profound theologian, well versed in Christian mysticism. But the man was the least done to arouse and stimulate children in their literary studies. St. Nicolas was a house under his leadership any ecclesiastical small, having in mind that the clergy, a seminar in advance, open only to individuals who were destined for the priesthood, and where the secular side of education was totally neglected. "

Abbe Henri Huvelin ] taught at the Petit Sminaire de Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet (1865-1868).

Postcard, early twentieth ^century

Paul Claudel owes its conversion to Notre-Dame de Paris on Christmas Day 1886 to control the minor seminary of Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet, "Children of the Masters in white robes and students of Petit Seminaire de Saint- Nicolas du Chardonnet who attended were singing what I learned later to be the Magnificat. I myself was standing in the crowd near the second pillar at the entrance of the chorus on the right side of the sacristy. And that's when the event occurred that dominates my life. In an instant my heart was touched and I believed. I thought of such a bond strength of such an uprising with all my being, a belief so powerful, such a certainty that leave no sort of doubt that since all books all the arguments, all the hazards of a hectic life, could not shake my faith, nor, indeed, touch it. I suddenly had the feeling tearing of innocence, the eternal child of God, a revelation ineffable. "

During the Commune of Paris , the tocsin of the church will ring once to prevent enemy maneuver.

The four bells of San Nicolas were blessed 5 July 1856 , the godparents were the Emperor and Empress , represented by HE the Duke of Bassano, grand chamberlain to the Emperor and the Duchess of ^Ms. Bassano, lady in waiting to the Empress. Consequently, these bells were named Louis Napoleon, Eugenie, and John.

Life of the parish until 1977

In 1907 , the parish priest, Gabriel Lenert, decided to publish a church paper, The Chardonnet, one of the first parish newspaper, the Bulletin de Saint-Sulpice and the Echo of Piacenza. His title was adorned with a sticker of Mr. Louis Perin, Architect of the Government.

We learn, for example the foundation of the Brotherhood of Our Lady Queen of the Clergy 2 February 1908 . Father Lenert is unequivocally linked to his parish goldfinch, whose image adorns the drawing of the title of the Journal parish: this bird in Christian art evoke the passion and the crown of thorns , because it feeds on thistles .

In 1921 , there were three employees in the parish, a Swiss Guard in three suits, a beadle and a chaisire, responsible for cleaning, sweeping, candles, clocks, bells, posters, shopping, mail, aeration, the radiator, wooden floors, chairs, etc. .

After having served as pastor (without having the official title), Franois-Bourget Ducaud "gave" the church in the hands of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X who still serves in 2011.

In September 1998 , a Mass is said in Latin to the memory of Maurice Bardeche historian denier and notorious collaborator during the war , in which, before an audience of many right-wing figures like Pierre Sidos, Henry Coston or Pierre Guillaume , Jean-Marie Le Pen is a tribute to what he calls a "historian of avant-garde" and "prophet of a European renaissance" .

Among the faithful of the parish, there are (or were counted) also personalities of various circles, such that Alain de Lacoste-Lareymondie , Jean-Franois Chiappe , Paul Guth , Michel Saint-Pierre , Jacques Perret , Paul Vialar , Michel Law or John Dutourd , Jacques Dufilho and Louis de Funes ^, .

Marine Le Pen is baptized her three children and his father, founder of the National Front , Jean-Marie Le Pen , goes there regularly to have masses said for his dead friends

On 8 December 2003 , nearly 200 illegal aliens conducted by Sylvain Garel and Roman Binazon occupy a few hours the church. They eventually leave the premises before the arrival of the faithful who come for the traditional scroll torchlight procession of the Immaculate Conception.
