Saint Antoine l'Abbaye

Saint Antoine l'Abbaye (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.t‿ɑ̃twan labei], before 1991: Saint-Antoine),[3] also Saint-Antoine-en-Viennois, is a commune in the Isère department in southeastern France.

[4] On 31 December 2015 the former commune of Dionay was merged into Saint Antoine l'Abbaye.

At that time the Benedictine monks were removed from the shrine, which was entrusted to the Antonines.

In 1890 the Canons Regular of the Immaculate Conception were given the Abbey of St. Antony, which was the motherhouse of the congregation.

It maintained that role from 1890 until 1903, when, following the anti-clerical laws passed by the French government in 1901, the community was transferred to Andora, in the Italian region of Liguria.
