The Filles-Dieu (French pronunciation: [fij djø], "daughters of God") were a French religious congregation founded before 1270, which was devoted to the service of the sick.
[citation needed] Their branches were mainly in Paris, Orléans, Beauvais, and Abbeville.
[citation needed] At the end of the 15th century the Paris house was on the Rue Saint-Denis, just a few metres from the Porte Saint-Denis, and was a home for two hundred ex-prostitutes.
[1] The Filles-Dieu wore white robes and black coats.
