The name goes back to the homestead of those von Garlande ( French clos de Garlande ) who owned a vineyard here and were favorites of Louis VI. were.
history
The name Rue Galande has been documented since 1262 , but the road is probably part of the old Gallo-Roman road from Lutetia to the southeast, on the left bank up the Seine, to the Abbey of Sainte-Geneviève and to Burgundy - this is only secured from Place Maubert. It branched off from Rue Saint Jacques, the southern part of the Roman Cardo , and went to Place Maubert
- on the one hand into the Rue Sainte-Geneviève, which left the city at the Porte Bordelle, then became the Rue Mouffetard , which already then (as today as Route nationale 7) forms the beginning of the road to Lyon;
- on the other hand in the Rue Saint-Victor, which a little further east led to the Porte Saint-Victor and the monastery of Saint-Victor , to Ivry-sur-Seine and Vitry-sur-Seine .
The name was also spelled Rue Garlande, at times the street was also called Rue du Clos Mauvoisin. The confluence of the Rue Galande in the Place Maubert was abolished in 1887 with the construction of the Rue Lagrange.
Rue Galande takes its name from the Clos de Galande, a vineyard that it passed along. The Clos du Galande was owned by the Garlande family and was parceled out after the fall of St. Stephen of Garlande ( 1127 ). After that it developed into a shopping street : In 1292 there are 50 companies from 16 trades.
