The Institut de France, learned society of the five académies, created in 1795, positioned on the Seine and facing the old Louvre with the Passerelle des Arts.

A plaque on the northern wall indicates the former location of the Tour de Nesle, a guard tower of the ancient city wall of the left bank, constructed under Philippe Auguste in the 13th century. It was demolished in 1665.
