"A few centuries ago, Le Caveau de la Huchette was a meeting place for the Templars, then a secret French-Masonic lodge. Today, Le Caveau de la Huchette is one of the most popular jazz clubs in the capital but the mysterious, cosy (sometimes unsettling) atmosphere of the place remains intact. An ideal venue for putting the public and the artists in close proximity of one another."

"Long before 1551, the building bearing the N°5 on rue de la Huchette was the meeting place of both the « Rosicrucians » and the « Templers », and in 1772 was transformed into a secret lodge. One approached it by way of rue de la Parcheminerie, rue de l’Hotel-Dieu and Petit-pont. This lodge was composent of two basement rooms one on top of the other, which served as meeting rooms.From that location two secret subterranean passages branched out, one loading to Châtelet, the other under the cloister of Saint-Séverin ."
