Valette street street in Paris

Valette street in the Fifth arrondissement of Paris, Latin Quarter, climbs the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève to the pantheon, begins at 1 Lanneau street ant 19 rue de l'Ecole Polytechnique, and ends at 8 Place du Pantheon. This street, partly built in the late eleventh century, called the rue des Sept-Voies (Seven Ways) at the beginning of the twelfth century because of the seven roads leading to it. Auguste Valette is a lawyer born in Salins-les-Bains (Jura) in August 16, 1805 died in May 10, 1878. Professor of Law at the Faculty of Paris he was twice deputy of the Jura and member of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences in 1869. A dock also bears his name in Salins-les-Bains.

There is a funny little story about the church Saint-Hilaire today disappeared (it was demolished in 1807). You can see the remains of the building in the courtyard of Number 1 Lanneau street, where there is still a pillar with a start of arcade. We report the story as it emerges from the chronic of Father Lindon to whom we owe many of our stories. So be him infinitely thanked where he still lives in a small apartment in Paris, Bernard-Palissy street. You know that the church was dedicated to Saint-Hilaire, definitely Father Châtel would have like it also. And for good reason, Hilary, before being saint, was a married a bishop as was customary in the early Christian church, which is why the contenders for the marriage were used to ask him questions, given its extensive experience in this area. They hope to promote and prolong the harmony of their household. The scandal in the church made a lot of fun in Paris when it exploded in 1513. It was about a picture that was there, Adam and Eve in Paradise . Two painters were arguing about it. One found it very good and the other thought that the picture contained a lot of silly mistakes. The dispute lasted and one day led his followers into a fistfight between vicars, priest, parishioners sacristans and ended with a little blood shed. A few drops of blood which was enough to declare that the church had been desecrated. As René Girard says in effect, the sacred and violence have the same origin. From this revelation, on the cross, Christianity was born. Every letter nailed in blood. And indeed, they closed the church, considered unclean, for some time. Until its reopening after a usual ceremonial. In fact, what was the reason for the dispute between the two painters? A trifle, as always: one of them said that " Adam and Eve could not have father or mother, the painter of the table should not have given them a belly button ". Certainly, the Father Châtel would probably also like this story even if he could the author.

At No. 4, College Sainte-Barbe (the patron saint of firefighters). The principal of the college buildings were rebuilt in 1840 by Labrouste, French architect who, after having spent six years in Rome, opened a training workshop for architects, who became the center of the rationalist mouvement (he was one of the first to understand the importance of iron in architecture and therefore a precursor of the Eiffel Tower). Other college buildings were enlarged by Ernest Lheureux who had been his pupil. In 1897 the State bought Sainte-Barbe. It is the sole survivor of all colleges in the Montagne Sainte-Genevieve .
