At number 18, you can see evidence of the medieval era, with the refectory of the Collège des Bernardins. Built in 1244, restored in 1336, there only remains the "logis du Pape" (Pope's Dwelling) and its 32 columns supporting a hall of 80 metres in length by 15 metres in width. The rest was destroyed with the construction of Rue de Poissy in 1806 and Boulevard Saint-Germain in 1855. Badly maintained, it was taken over by a fire station from 1845 to 1993, which was then cleared out and finally the spot ended up housing a music society of Notre-Dame de Paris and a dormitory for the police !
