Rue de la Petite-Truanderie (French pronunciation: [ʁy də la pətit tʁyɑ̃dʁi]) is an old path, in the 1st District of Paris, in France.[1][2][3]
The exact origin of the name is not known, but there are two thesis:
- The first, defended by Sauval and Cenalis who think the name Truanderie comes from the word ugly meaning in old language and popular term lazy, worthless, beggar . Those who maintain this aphorism say that in 1313 this street was called la Truanderie because it was at the northern end of Paris, along the walls of Philippe-Auguste because it was inhabited by rascals, fortune-tellers, and it was a real court of miracles.
- The second, defended by Jaillot who thought the name comes from truage, meaning taxes. Indeed, there were street from Great Truanderie, office or were perceived import duties on goods entering Paris.
