Grand Rue Jean Moulin, Medieval footpath in central Montpellier, France.
Grand Rue Jean Moulin is a pedestrian street in central Montpellier that runs from Rue de la Loge to Boulevard du Jeu de Paume. The route passes shops, cafes, and buildings that show the different architectural layers of the city's development.
During the medieval period, this route formed part of the Cami Roumieu, a commercial trail linking Italy and Spain. Merchants and pilgrims relied on this path as they moved between trade centers and pilgrimage destinations.
The street carries the name of a major French Resistance figure and remains connected to that era of the city's story. Locals and visitors encounter reminders of this period as they walk through the neighborhood.
The street is easily walkable and connects well to other central roads in the area. Most shops and cafes stay open during daytime hours on weekdays, with some Sunday openings during warmer months.
A courtyard tucked at number 33 holds a statue of a woman carrying a lantern, set among growing plants and greenery. This quiet hidden space stands in contrast to the busier street outside.
