Following the 1587 establishment of the brotherhood of Lorraine in the church of Saint-Louis des Français, workers from Lorraine built this church. The brotherhood included four French nations: Lorraine, France, Burgundy, and Savoy. Recently restored by the Lorraine Regional Council and the French Heritage Administration, it receives groups of French pilgrims (no more than 80 at a time). An annual mass also celebrates the feast day of Saint Nicolas on December 9.
