Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Descriptive name
Named in: 1890

L'origine de ce nom n'est pas connue, cependant nous savons que la rue est apparue peu après l'église du Sablon, c'est-à-dire à une époque où il n'était pas coutume de donner le nom d'une personne aux rues. Autre hypothèse: nom d'un cabaretier de renom (Fichiers AVB) (remark in French, as published)
