Notes
  • Claude Mignot has suggested that the drawing shows Louis Le Vau's "revised plan (now opening onto the river) of his project for a square to lodge the royal guards, which Le Vau reused in 1662 for the new Collège program, leaving out the guard lodges but keeping the interesting feature of a forecourt across the river" (Mignot 2001, p. 226).
