Rue Lhomond

Rue Lhomond in 1913

Rue Lhomond is a street in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is located in the quartier du Val-de-Grâce and has existed since the 15th century. It was once known as rue des Poteries after its Gallo-Roman pottery workshops (re-discovered in the 18th century), then from around 1600 as rue des Pots and finally rue des Postes.[1] It was given its present name in 1867 after the priest, grammarian and scholar Charles François Lhomond (1727-1794).
