La Rue du Pont Vautier

 

       

 

the Fishmarket - "Poissonnerie" - close to the trees,

and housings along the river.

 In the XVIIIth century, fish would be sold in front of the 1st Notre-Dame Church on the market place.
Further to complaints claiming respect of the religious building, the fish market moved to the "promenades" along the river,

then went back to the Market place and, finally, the "poissonnerie", made of six parts, each of them offering a stall, was built circa 1856.
