Bishop Francis de Sales of Geneva and [[Jane Frances de Chantal]] founded the Congregation of the Visitation at Annecy in 1610. The house in Annecy was closed by the French revolutionary government in 1792, and not restored until 1824.<ref>Emile Bougaud, ''Histoire de Sainte Chantal et des origines de la Visitation,'' {{in lang|fr}}, 7h edition, Volume 1 (Paris: Pouissielgue, 1870), "Chapitre XIII", [https://books.google.com/books?id=lxsuSRAV3lkC&pg=PA451 pp. 451-499].
