The corporation of nautes " the traders of the water " had obtained a jurisdiction installed in the xiiie century in the " Visiting room to the Middle-class persons " situated near the Pantheon, in the location of the current N 20 of the street Soufflot. The middle-class persons obtained a Provost of the traders whose skills were limited to the commercial domain.

The first royal statue restored in bets, after the Revolution and the Empire, was the one of Henri IV, chosen because of the affection which a majority of the population carried to the founder of the dynasty of Bourbons.

Originally, the quay Voltaire was only the western part of the quay Malaquais. We gave him the name of quay of Théatins after a monastery of théatins had become established there in 1644 by buying, thanks to the generosity of cardinal Jules Mazarin, a house which can shelter approximately twenty five members of a religious order in the location of the current no 23 and no 25 quay Voltaire. The convent was defused in 1790 and demolished in 1822. In 1595 Guillaumede Varic installed a tilery there. In 1791, the quay took the name of quay Voltaire in homage to the writer who died in 1778 in the hotel of the marquess of Villette there.Since Balzac, who places antique dealer's mysterious shop of La Peau de chagrin, the quay Voltaire shelters numerous antique dealers, today rather specialized in the upper upscale segment. In the beginning of the XIXth century, the first secondhand booksellers of Paris make it their appearance.

First came abbots who founded a community that possessed much money and knowledge. Then the Académie Française and the École des Beaux-Arts (art school) set up here. And finally Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and all their friends who held forth while Boris Vian played and Juliette Gréco sang in the cellars. Those are the intellectual roots of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. But is there anything left? Even though the galleries and bookshops are holding out, ready-to-wear is elbowing out ready-to-think. But if you forget the flashy window displays and explore the little streets around rue de Buci, where the market is held, or the quays (the oldest being Quai des Grands-Augustins that dates back to 1313), you'll find liveliness and artists who still breathe.

This stop is a railway station, as Orsay was at the end of the railway line before it housed all the nineteenth century European artistic movements.

It is on proposition of the anthropologist and the linguist Abel Hovelacque that the city of Paris adopts in 1887 the project of creation of a professional municipal school of arts and graphic industries. It has for object the professional training of the professions by the book, in all their practical and theoretical aspects. Its purpose was to mitigate the sub-qualification in this infant industry. Paris was considered as the capital of the printing office and as an important example of the public politics of professional training at the beginning of the IIIth Republic. By creating this school, the City Council of Paris provoked a general outcry in the autonomous and corporate environment that was the book-related industry.

Rue de la Bûcherie is a reminder that the boat berths where there used to be a port to land firewood for Paris. And even if this lively quarter between the Sorbonne and the Seine is not as hot as it was in 1968, it still attracts students from all over the world, who speak all languages—except Latin, whose use by scholars gave the Latin Quarter its name. The heart of Paris lies across the bridge, because the city was indeed founded on Ile de la Cité. 'Lutetia', the old name of Paris, is Celtic for 'dwelling in the middle of the waters'. The island was the kings' residence under the fourteenth century. They built two Gothic masterpieces (Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle), their palace (now the law courts), a hospital (Hôtel-Dieu) and a barracks that has become the Prefecture de Police.
