The Ancient Abbey of Canons Regular of St. Augustine of Saint-Pierremont (i.e., St. Peter's mountain) (French: Abbaye de Saint-Pierremont, German: Abtei Petersberg) is a former Augustinian abbey in the commune of Avril in what is now the Meurthe-et-Moselle département of France (formerly part of the Duchy of Bar in the Upper Lorraine region of the Holy Roman Empire), founded in the late eleventh century and dedicated to Saint Peter. Little is left of the medieval abbey buildings. Some buildings of the eighteenth century survive (enriched with older fragments, such as the arms of the abbot Jean Marius (1575-1597) and of the Duchy of Bar), notably the dovecote of the abbey, which was built in 1747 in the Baroque style and remodeled in 1774 with Rococo elements; it is registered in the Base Mérimée of notable French architectural monuments.

Calmet was greatly admired by the philosopher Voltaire, who visited the abbey on several occasions.Calmet died at Senones Abbey, in the Vosges, near Saint-Dié, on 25 October 1757.

The Order of the Greyhound was founded in 1416 in the Duchy of Bar. One also called this chivalric order, the "Order of the Faithfulness".
The order is called "Order of Hubert" since 1423. This knighthood order was founded as a knightly company for mutual love, loyalty and defense and had as insignia a greyhound with the motto "Tout en" on the collar.
The order was settled, at its establishment, for a period of five years, but flourished, favored by the kings of France until the French Revolution.
In Frankfurt, Louis XVIII, France's King in exile, reorganized the Order of Hubert and it was now called "Hunting Order of St. Hubert", until 29 July 1830, when it was abolished with all other former French orders.
