Le regard Saint-Martin fait partie de ce réseau de captation des eaux qui avait été établi dès le moyen-age sur les hauteurs dominant l'est de Paris. Ainsi qu'en atteste la plaque en latin, il a été réhabilité à deux reprises, en 1633 & 1722.
Anecdotique mais amusant: ce regard serait la plus ancienne construction du XX° arrondissement encore debout.
What a coincidence! I've been looking for less touristy things to see on my upcoming Paris trip and yesterday I added Regard Saint Martin to my list. I also added Regards "Des Messiers" and "De la Roquette" both on Rue Des Cascades and De La Lanterne near Rue Compans. I hope to look inside of some of them. :)
Hi James, On Paris-Bise-Art you'll find five "Regards" (so far...). None of them being visitable ! There is only one "regard" which is open everyday: the regard des Messiers, rue des Cascades, two minutes from the regard Saint-Martin. And if you are in Paris during the "Journées du Patrimoine" (20 sept), the regard de la lanterne will be open to visitors, too.
