= Collège Chavagnes (Nantes) =

The College Chavagnes (Nantes) used to be called College Françoise d'Amboise Chavagnes is a private school located in Nantes, France. Inaugurated in 1857, by the Sisters of Chavagnes en Paillers.

Origins
The Ursuline Sisters acquired the land on December 18, 1857. They decided to build the H-shaped building inspired by the convent of Chavagnes-en-Paillers. The first stone was laid in 1859 and the last in 1905. The building was built so that sisters could teach young girls. It was managed by the Reverend Mother Saint Hilarion. Before this construction we could see the "Robert Garden" owned by Mr. Robert a lawyer from Nantes. From August 19, 1905, the establishment could no longer be called Chavagnes because the teaching congregations were banned: it needed a new name. The name of Blessed Françoise d'Amboise was then chosen to protect the students and the school.
