In France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, at Disibodenberg, Besançon, Lure, Cusance, Langres, Toul, Liège, Péronne, Ebersmünster, Cologne, Regensburg, Vienna, Erfurt, Würzburg, Annegray, and Fontaine-lès-Luxeuil, communities adopted the way of life modeled by Columba of Clonard and Columbanus of Bangor.
