Just for the pleasure of it a beautiful
picture taken by Gerri Kotkamp in 1974. You will see that
the present plaque is not there yet. This sign is anyway
wrong since it indicates that the wall was built in the 12th
century. We know for a fact that this particular section
of the wall was the last one built, mcuh nearer to 1210 thant
1190. THe sign should then have mentionef 13th instead of
12th century.
The regular strucutre of the stones visible
in the lower half of the photo dates back to a much later period
than the wall, of 1809, date of the digging of this part of the
rue CLovis. The street passed lower than the foundations of the wall
and a wall had to make sure it would be stable.
