Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Commemorative name
Theme: Arts and culture

Le Troubadour chantait des poèmes en s'accompagnant musicalement. Il passait ainsi de châteaux en châteaux pour répandre les valeurs de la société courtoise. Lorsque l'avenue Charles Quint fut créée, la commune a souhaité faire revivre le passé médiéval de la région. (remark in French, as published)
