Although when they are initially built the roads are wide, the increasing population force villagers to gain some room by adding extensions.
An extra floor was often added or houses overlooking the access roads were widened as they were high enough not to obstruct traffic.
The land registry report made in the 19th century confirm that the road was already like this and that at the time it was called “Traversière du Four”. It was certainly wider at one stage than narrowed due to construction or the additions to buildings here and there. This was a secondary road and it could have almost become a covered one, like the Passage des “catines” a little further on.
