We call this little street of Troyes rue Maillard since the 15th century, but it became famous with the name

ruelle des Chats

, "street of the Cats"... Why? Look at that! According to the legend, a cat could jump from roof to roof, effortlessly! And we can see a small cat's head sculpted on the wood.
