Along the approximately 400-meter-long Grande Rue, 157 arcades stretch, most of which date back to the 15th century. These arcades not only provide protection from the elements but also lend the street its distinctive charm. The houses above them present a variety of architectural styles, from medieval half-timbering to Renaissance facades with decorative elements such as niches and medallions. Over the centuries, particularly between the 17th and 19th centuries, many of these buildings were expanded or remodeled, but the arcade structure was always preserved.
