Of the rue Montagne de la Cour, only a small section remains today just below the Place Royale. The rest has disappeared to make way for the Mont des Arts. This project, implemented in two phases (turn of the 19th-20th century, 1950s-60s), led to the demolition of a vast old, commercial and popular space, with the aim of replacing it with a new cultural center of monumental character.
