La rue traversière des Tables connects the rue des Tables and the rue Adhemard de Monteil.
I only know of the usage of "transverse" in English from New York City. There are four streets that cross Central Park from Fifth Avenue to Central Park West: 65th, 79th, 86th, and 97th. Where they cross the park they are called the 65th St. Transverse, the 79th St. Transverse, and so on. I imagine the word traversière has a similar meaning.
it looks like a film set does it not?
ReplyDeleteI love the fluid lines! Used to enjoy finding streets like this in Sevilla where I couldn’t even open my arms wide.
ReplyDeleteWith the same meaning, you can call a street shortcut un chemin de traverse.
ReplyDeletejohn, it does, indeed!
