==Laennec's landmarks in Paris==
On the exterior wall of the "[[Hôpital Necker]] – Enfants Malades", where Laennec wrote ''Mediate auscultation'', near the entrance of the hospital in 149, Rue de Sèvres, there is a marble memorial tablet with an engraved portrait of Laennec and this inscription: "Dans cet hôpital Laennec découvrit l'auscultation. 1781–1826".
