For the aware walker, these plates provide a fundamental information for your orientation :
- the names of the streets and the numbers of the houses on yellow plates, indicate the streets that are in the sense of the Garonne (East - West).
- the names of the streets and the numbers of the houses on white plates, indicate the streets that are perpendicular in the Garonne (South - North).
Besides, it is good to know that the numbers of the houses are ordered :
- for the parallel streets in the Garonne : of uphill downstream (in the sense of the course of the stream)
- for the perpendicular streets in the Garonne, the numbers increase more one moves away of the stream.Therefore, if you look for the number 1 of the Rue Alsace-Lorraine (embassy of Italy), it is in the beginning of this street (close to the Esquirol place), toward the uphill of the Garonne that you will find it.
