As far as memory goes, parisians have always liked to commemorate the
memories of monunents, of famous people, of important events by plaques
in the streets. Philippe Auguste wall is not different in that respect,
since the oldest plaque evoking its existence still today Dauphine street
dates back to the 17th century. More recently Paris City Hall has spread
all over the capital historic plaques created by Philip Starck, and has
not left out our favorite wall.
You will find a complete compilation (as far as we know to be true in
February 2003) of all these commemorations. We have chosen below the special
plaque of St Etienne du Mont, as it is the only one to show a map of a
section of the well. Furthermore, it is not on the exact passage of wall.

It is situated along the southern ambulatory of the church.
It shows the complete section going from Boulevard St Michel to
Saint Jacques street, with the "parloir aux bourgeois",
a local parisian building. This parlour is noticeable as it shapes
a protuberance in the wall while it was still in use.
It is commemorated by a plaque on the corner of
the rue Victor Cousin and rue Soufflot. According to Jacques Hillairet,
this plaque is wrong and the "parloir au bourgeois" would
be placed du Châtelet.
