"Rue du Clape below is part of the picturesque streets circuit of Montreuil-sur-mer. This artery, paved from top to bottom, is lined with small low houses, dating from the 18th century.

These quirky houses are home to several stalls in the summer, including a pancake house. Listed on the List of Historical Monuments, it takes its name from the sewers that border it (the flap prevented the water from repressing)."

"La rue du Clape en bas fait parties du circuit des rues pittoresques de Montreuil-sur-mer. Cette artère, pavée de haut en bas, est bordée de petites maisons basses, datant du XVIII ème siècle.

Ces maisons biscornues abritent l'été plusieurs échoppes, notamment une crêperie. Inscrite sur la liste des Monuments Historiques, elle tire son nom des égouts qui la bordaient (le clapet empêchait l'eau de refouler)."
