As part of its Celtic heritage, Jouarre was established as a "double community," i.e., a community of monks as well as nuns, both under the rule of the abbess, who in 1225 was granted immunity from interference by the bishop of Meaux, answering only to the pope.
He approached St Faro, the Bishop of Meaux, to whom he made known his desire to live a life of solitude in the forest.
He was named Bishop of Meaux, 27 August 1986, consecrated on the 19 October 1986 by the archbishop of Paris, cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger.
