Rue du Grand-Pont

Lined with shops and restaurants, this street in the heart of the old town is a must for locals and tourists alike. Despite its name ("Big Bridge Street"), you won't see there any bridge. Actually, a river (the Sionne) runs through the town and, following major flooding, it was covered over for some 400m between the 17th and 18th centuries, giving rise to Rue du Grand-Pont.
