This is one of those few roads which preserves the memory of the medieval roads on Ile de la Cité, destroyed in the 19th Century by Haussmann's development.
Do not be fooled by the medieval look of the house at number 1. It is only the result of the superb restoration job carried out in 1958 by the architect Pouillon on a little house, which survived despite Haussmann's works. He deliberately gave it the medieval appearance and lived there for a year. The next owner was none other than the Aga Kahn, an important Arab dignitary.
