Rue de la Pomme, Commercial street in central Toulouse, France
The rue de la Pomme is a semi-pedestrian street in central Toulouse that runs between Place Saint-Georges and rue Saint-Pantaléon. It connects the Saint-Georges and Capitole neighborhoods through a commercial zone with varying widths throughout its length.
During medieval times, the street was divided into separate sections, one of which was called rue du Puits-des-Deux-Carres. It adopted its current name from an inn's sign, which became a distinctive landmark.
Craftspeople such as sculptors and painters established themselves along this street and shaped the local craft traditions. Over centuries, it became a place where traditional skills were passed down and practiced.
The street is a shared space zone where pedestrians and vehicles mix, particularly between rue Saint-Pantaléon and place du Capitole. Comfortable footwear is recommended, as the surface can be uneven and foot traffic picks up during busy hours.
During the French Revolution, the street was temporarily renamed rue Ça-va in 1794. After the upheaval passed, it returned to its original name, which has remained ever since.
