Commentary
L'ancien collège de Clermont, rue Saint-Jacques, fondé par les Jésuites en 1561, prit le nom de Louis le Grand, en l'honneur de Louis XIV. En 1682, celui-ci accorde son patronage officiel et l'établissement devient le Collegium Ludovici Magni. Les Jésuites y enseignent jusqu'en avril 1762, date à laquelle les collèges de Jésuites du ressort du Parlement de Paris sont fermés. Parmi les anciens élèves, on relève entre autres les noms de Molière, Diderot, le marquis de Sade, Voltaire, Baudelaire, les peintres Delacroix ou Degas, Robespierre, Pompidou, Jacques Chirac, etc..
