The Once-reinforced random walk was introduced in the nineties as an a priori simplistic model of random walk with memory. Since then, only a few results have been proved, but very interesting features have been conjectured.
We will give an overview of the current knowledge on these questions, eventually focusing on a recent result of Vladas Sidoravicius and myself.
