Today it is covered with a concrete cap from its source to its mouth, near Austerlitz station. “At the beginning of the 20th century, it was still a trickle of water that snaked south of the capital. Falling from the countryside and ponds of Saint-Quentin, the Bievre (…) was a river of toil, it turned the mills, collected waste slaughterhouses, tanners, dyers, launderers. (…) (Today) melted in the basement, it (is) the ghost member of an amputated city “writes Adrien Combaud in a book he dedicated to the river.
