The Abbey of Saint-Pierre-les-Nonnains in Lyon, also known as the Abbey of the Dames de Saint-Pierre or simply Palais Saint-Pierre, is an ancient Catholic religious edifice that housed Benedictine nuns from the 10th century onwards, and was rebuilt in the 17th century.
The abbey was founded by Duke Simon I of Lorraine between 1130 and 1139, [1] [2] close to his castle at Prény. The valley where the monastery was built, as well as farmland, vineyards, mills and forests, were granted by the opulent Messinian abbeys of Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains and Sainte-Glossinde [].
The pure white rose was specifically chosen by the Vatican, and was planted in the Vatican gardens in 2013 overlooking Saint Peter's Basilica. [1] The Pope John Paul II rose was included in the White House Rose Garden during the latest renovations by First Lady Melania Trump in honor of the first time a pope visited the White House in 1979.

The abbey church was also a parish church under the patronage of Saint-Jacques-aux-Nonnains. [5] The Église Saint Jacques was famous for its 15th century portal in Flamboyant Gothic style, from which it was called "Saint Jacques au Beau Portail". At 72 metres (236 ft) in length it was the second largest church in Troyes after the cathedral.
