Following this conference, the monarch finally recanted Protestantism: "Paris is worth a mass". When peace returned, Marie de Medicis installed the dock which took the name of "Cours la Reyne." Under the Fronde in 1649. Anne of Austria fled from the Louvre through this gate with Louis XIV aged 11, and took refuge in St Germain-en-Laye. At the time of construction of the Wall of the Farmers-General in 1785 a part of Chaillot was attached to Paris, and the Gate was moved downstream to Passy, at the foot of the current rue Beethoven. Today, the quay of the Conference at the foot of Alma remind Parisians ot the conversion of the most popular of its kings.
