Vincentian places

In May 1612, Vincent de Paul took up the position of Parish Priest of Clichy, a small town of some 600 people, just to the northwest of Paris.

In 1610, Vincent lived in the Rue de Seine in Paris, and was one of several Chaplain-Almoners to Queen Marguérite de Valois, the first wife of Henry of Navarre (Henry IV of France).

Vincent was ordained at Château-l’Évêque in September 1600.

After his secondary studies at Dax, Vincent entered the university. He finished his studies at Toulouse in 1604 and received the baccalaureate in theology.
