En 1614 débute le lotissement et la construction de l'île, par les soins de Christophe Marie dont ce pont a pris le nom associé à Poulletier et Le Regrattier. Une voie centrale, deux séries de quais et trois rues de traverse constituent le maillage de cet habitat régulier et homogène achevé vers 1660. Desi hôtels somptueux aux maisons les plus modestes règne sur les façades une harmonieuse diversité, la profonde unité d'un style architectural annonce les réalisations du règne de Louis XIV.

Restée à l'écart des bouleversements de la voirie et du tissu urbain des deux derniers siècles, l'Ile Saint-Louis a subi peu de mutilations et présente toujours l'aspect d'un paisible vaisseau de pierre ancré au milieu de la Seine.

to the most modest houses, a harmonious diversity reigns on the facades, the profound unity of an architectural style announces the achievements of the reign of Louis XIV.

Having remained apart from the upheavals of the roads and the urban fabric of the last two centuries, the Ile Saint-Louis has suffered little mutilation and still presents the appearance of a peaceful stone vessel anchored in the middle of the Seine.
