From there, they published two journals, Revue des Sciences philosophiques et théologiques (starting 1907) and the Bulletin thomiste (starting 1924, not to be confused with Revue thomiste, established in 1893). In 1939, the Dominicans were allowed back into France and they established themselves in Étiolles (Essonne département), retaining the name of Le Saulchoir for their school. They remained in Étiolles until 1971, in which year they moved to the couvent Saint-Jacques in Paris where the Centre d'études du Saulchoir was established in 1992.
