There's a funny naming thing going on with the streets ("les rues" en français) in this town. Today I walked past "Rue de Monsieur le Prince", which I thought was kind of cute: literally translated, it means "Mister the Prince", which doesn't really give a good idea of how it's used, but no matter.... Last night, some friends and I found ourselves near Rue de Petit Musc--Street of Little Musk.
There have been others, too--Rue de Nicolas Flamel and Rue Rohan, as I think I mentioned earlier. (If you don't remember this post, it's because it's been a draft for several months, and I only just published it, backdated, of course. For your convenience.)
A nice touch was that the same friends and I spent some time hanging out on Rue des Anglais (Street of the English).
Update V and a friend (Marie) and I have been looking for apartments together. We found one, but to get there we had to walk down Rue Hautpoul, which sounds a lot like "haut poule", "high chicken".
