It was once known as the Rue des Poteries after its Gallo-Roman pottery workshops (re-discovered in the 18th century), then from around 1600 as the Rue des Pots and finally the Rue des Postes.[1] It was given its present name in 1867 after the priest, grammarian and scholar Charles François Lhomond (1727-1794).
History
The street has housed several Catholic seminaries and convents, along with a British seminary established at no. 22 by permission of King Louis XIV in 1684 and active until 1790.[2]
The Rue Lhomond features in the Georges Simenon novel Maigret Takes a Room. In the novel, Maigret takes a room in a boarding house to discover who shot his subordinate Janvier.
