Il fut prolonge en 1776 vers la rue des Boucheries, à l'emplacement du trattoir sud du boulevard Saint-Germain dent le percement amputa son parcours. Son tracé est celui du fossé de l'enceinte de Philippe Auguste; la base d'une tour subsiste dans le magasin duin'4. Le passage conserve le souvenir de l'imprimerie de Marat et de la guillotine de Schmidt. Par une brèche pratiquée dans l'enceinte, on pénètre dans une succession de cours bordées de maisons anciennes, dont un bel hôtel du XVIe siècle. La demière cour, dite de Rohan, déformation de Rouen, abritait la demeure parisienne des archevéques de Rouen. Elle donne sur la rue du Jardinet.

of the city walls of Philippe Auguste; the base of a tower remains in the store at No. 4. The passage preserves the memory of Marat's printing press and Schmidt's guillotine. Through a breach made in the walls, one enters a succession of courtyards bordered by old houses, including a beautiful 16th century hotel. There the last courtyard, called Rohan (a deformation of “Rouen”), housed the Parisian residence of the archbishops of Rouen. It overlooks rue du Jardinet.
