L'Androuno

A view of the Androuno

L'Androuno is one of the world's narrowest streets[1][2][3][4][5] found in the city of Gassin, France.

It measures 29 centimeters (11.41 inches) at its narrowest point.[6]

The name derives from a Greek term for a passage between two houses, with a subtext for a place for men only, such as a hiding place or a latrine. The Provencal term is defined as an "alley", a "cul-de-sac", or a "void that separates two houses", with the same subtext.[4]
