The Cour du Commerce Saint-André is a narrow, cobblestoned passage that connects the Rue Saint-André-des-Arts to Boulevard Saint-Germain. It was opened in seventeen seventy-six, cutting through the site of a former tennis court, or jeu de paume, once used by the residents of the Hôtel de Rohan. The alley follows the path of the twelve-century defensive wall built by King Philippe-Auguste, and you can still find remnants of this fortification tucked into the masonry of the older buildings lining the way.
