Red barrel street
Street named after an inn, Zum roten Faesslein, 1636 AD. This is the current name, since 1945, although the name changed 18 times since 1275AD. As a reminder, Strasbourg was founded in the year 8 BC, 2033 years ago by roman soldiers, but people were living here long before. When was your town founded?

Side streets
One of many side street in the Grand Rue area, with ah so lovely restaurants. The Grand Rue, or long street in alsacian, is the former roman highway leading to the Saverne garrison, 45 km away, over 2000 years ago . How old are your streets???
