 Around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the anti-clerical laws passed in France resulted in the expulsion of Carthusian monks, and two additional ranges of cells were built at La Valsainte to accommodate some of them, in 1886 and 1901.In 1903 and 1904 the Chapter General of the Carthusian order met here.The impossibility of pursuing monastic vocations in France at this period meant an increase of vocations at La Valsainte.
