GENTLEMEN'S LANE

About 50 metres long and barely 70 cm wide in places, the name of this little alley literally translates as "the breast rubbing alley".

It was therefore inadvisable for women to take this passage at the risk of being grazed by passers-by, unless they came across real gentlemen, bending over backwards to let the ladies pass...
