Ancienne voie médiévale, elle tire son nom d'Etienne de Garlande, favori du roi Louis VI le Gros, qui y possédait un clos de vignes. Lotie après sa disgrâce (1127), elle devient très commerçante sur le registre des impositions de 1292, cinquante imposés notables y figurent, représentant seize métiers différents. Bordée au XIlle siècle par un cimetière juif, elle garde quelques maisons à pignon, et des fragments de la chapelle Saint-Blaise, qui recevait la confrérie des maçons et charpentiers. Elle devient misérable au cours du XIXe siècle avec une population famélique et des bouges douteux, repaires de gueux et d'alco- oliques, tels le Château rouge ou la crèmerie Alexandre décrits par J.-K. Huysmans dans «la Bièvre et Saint-Séverin»

(English translation:)

An old medieval road, taking its name from Etienne de Garlande, a favorite of King Louis VI le Gros, who owned a vineyard there. Parceled out after his fall from favor (1127), the street developed commercially, as apparent on the tax register of 1292, with fifty taxed notables listed on it, representing sixteen different trades. Bordered in the 11th century by a Jewish cemetery, the street retains a few gabled houses, and fragments of the Saint-Blaise chapel, which served the brotherhood of masons and carpenters. During the 19th century the street sank into misery, containing a starving population and dubious hovels, with haunts of beggars and drunks, such as the Château rouge or the Alexandre creamery as described by J.-K. Huysmans in "la Bièvre et Saint-Séverin».
