The streets parallel to the quay are, from left to right, rue des marets (rue des marais, current rue visconti) and rue du coulombier (rue du colombier, current eastern section of rue jacob), those leaving from the quay towards the south (on the right on the map) are, at the top, rue des fossés de nesle (current rue mazarine) whose end, on the seine side is converted into a watering hole, and rue de seine, down the rue des saints-pères. In the center, the old chemin de la noue (current rue bonaparte), also known as rue de la petite seine, then rue des petits-augustins divides the queen's gardens into two parts to allow access to the chapelle des louanges, but still ends in a dead end on the quay side.
