It takes its name from the Gros Horloge, one of the emblematic monuments of the city.
Historicaledit
It is possible that the street is located on the axis corresponding to the decumanus of the Gallo-Roman city of Rotomagus, the former name of Rouen.
In 1527, the street was spanned by a stone arch, which then led to the old town hall.
It bore the names of "Grande-Rue", "rue Courvoiserie", "rue Courvoyserie", "rue Massacre", "rue Vanterie", "rue Wanterie" before reverting to the name "Grande-Rue" during the Revolution before taking its current name.[2]
In 1932, the first Monoprix store in France opened there, under the name Noma, a contraction of “nouveau magasin” (new store).
