Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Descriptive name
Theme: Buildings

Il s'agit sans doute d'une référence à un temple ou une église, car à proximité on retrouve la rue du Temple, la rue de la Samaritaine, la rue des Minimes, ainsi que plusieurs édifices religieux (l'église Notre-Dame de la Chapelle, église Notre-Dame du Sablon). (remark in French, as published)
