"The Anchor Passage takes its name from the 4-pronged iron grapnel anchor hanging from one of the arches in the alley. This anchor symbolized certain feudal rights granted to the archbishops on the tide: port entry taxes, tithe on fish caught from the mouth of the Aude to Cape Leucate."

"Le passage de l'ancre tient son nom de l'ancre grappin en fer à 4 branches suspendue à l'une des arches de la ruelle. Cette ancre symbolisait certains droits féodaux octroyés aux archevêques sur la marée: taxes d’entrée au port, dîme sur le poisson pêché depuis l'embouchure de l'Aude jusqu'au cap Leucate. "
