The plan of the old quartier du Temple
The mysterious maison du Temple, once home to the Knights Templar, was a place of power, wealth and well-kept secrets. These knights, who were both feared and admired, aroused so much fascination that they were eventually disbanded at a council that was not exactly a cut-throat affair. But the story doesn't end there! After their departure, the place was entrusted to the Order of St John of Jerusalem, in order to keep the mystical atmosphere intact. However, during the French Revolution, the Temple house was seized and turned into a prison. And guess who spent a short time there? No less than Louis XVI and the dauphin Louis XVII. You might as well say that the walls heard some royal confessions! After being used as a gaol, the residence had quieter adventures as a convent, then barracks, before disappearing completely in 1808.
