Some street names in Troyes have not changed since the Middle Ages. They would sound familiar to the merchants of the time, such as the rue de la Montée des Changes (Street of the exchanges), rue de la Pierre (Street of the stones), or the rue des Anciennes Tanneries (Street of the tanners). Likewise, a medieval inhabitant would recognize the silhouette of Troyes' traditional houses, rebuilt identically in the 16th century, with their corbelled roofs, mullioned windows, and half-timbered walls.
