The Aligre Foundation stands on the site of the former Notre-Dame de Josaphat abbey, founded in 1117 by Geoffroy de Lèves, and his brother Goslein, lord of Lèves. It served as a necropolis for the bishops of Chartres and was notably the burial place of John of Salisbury, who died in 1180. In 1791, during the Revolution, the abbey was partly demolished and pillaged. After the Revolution, the remains of the abbey became the property of the Aligre family, originally from Chartres and with a considerable fortune. In 1968, when the agricultural land intended to meet financial needs no longer yielded enough, the Aligre foundation was no longer able to balance its accounts. It was decided by the board of directors to merge with the Marie-Thérèse Hospice and become a departmental public establishment, known since then as the Aligre and Marie-Thérèse Foundation.

It was in the 4th century that an oratory in honor of Saint George, martyred around the year 303, was built. Two centuries later, a chapel replacing the oratory was built by the monks of the abbey of Saint-Père-en-Vallée in Chartres. This abbey was located behind the Saint-Pierre church, on the current site of the Lycée Marceau. During the thirteenth century, between 1250 and 1270, the chapel gave way to a church. The parish - which will later become the commune - of Saint-Georges is constituted and becomes the capital of a seigneury of the chapter of Chartres. The church froze its architecture, as we know it today, in the sixteenth century around 1500, when it was enlarged by the construction of the South Chapel. source: wikipedia
