Saulchoir
Le Saulchoir is a Dominican school of theology in the order's province of France, established 1904.
After the expulsion from France in 1880, French Dominican friars went into exile in Spain and Austria; they were allowed to return in 1895, establishing themselves in the convent of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain.
After the renewed expulsion in 1903, the Dominicans were exiled to Belgium, residing at Kain.
Here, they established a studium generale in 1904, in a former Cistercian abbey called Le Saulchoir.
From there, they published two journals, Revue des Sciences philosophiques et théologiques
and the Bulletin thomiste.
In 1939, the Dominicans were allowed back into France and they established themselves in Étiolles, retaining the name of Le Saulchoir for their school. They remained in Étiolles until 1971, in which year they moved to the couvent Saint-Jacques in Paris where the Centre d'études du Saulchoir was established in 1992.
