Nicolas Flamel - Nicolas Flamel in Paris

Nicolas Flamel in Paris

One of Flamel's houses still stands in Paris, at 51 rue de Montmorency. It is the oldest stone house in the city. There is an old inscription on the wall: "We, ploughmen and women living at the porch of this house, built in 1407, are requested to say every day an 'Our Father and an 'Ave Maria' praying God that His grace forgive poor and dead sinners." The ground floor currently contains a restaurant.

A Paris street near the Louvre Museum, the rue Nicolas Flamel, has been named after him; it intersects with the rue Perenelle, named after his wife.
