She was born in Langres, in eastern France. She came to New France with Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve in 1641 with the intent of organizing a hospital, and so is considered one of the founders of Montreal. She founded the Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal, the first hospital in North America, which was completed in 1645.
