In 1607, Henri de la Tour d'Auvergne founded the Académie des Exercices, located in the building at number 1. Here, about 80 Huguenots learned how to use weapons; the school was closed by Louis XIV in 1685. In 1726 the complex became a royal cloth factory called Gros Chien. In the first courtyard, sculpted heads of Elisabeth of Nassau, her family and friends can be seen above the windows.
Opposite it is the Maison Petit Chien (1747), the house of a cloth manufacturer.
