English term or phrase: canopied street
Bonjour,

je sais que "canopied bed" est un lit à baldaquin. Mais une rue ?

Voici l'extrait d'une brochure touristique :

"Canopied streets are lined with lovingly restored homes."

Merci pour votre aide !

agree  Germaine: et même sans le "petite", plus courantes que les ponts couverts. Il y en a partout et pour tous les goûts: couverture de pierres, de bois, verrières, tôle ondulée, etc. Ex.: Plaza St-Hubert, à Montréal ou Google: "rue couverte" (avec les guillemets)

neutral  Laure Humbel (X): pour moi "ombragée" en français renvoie uniquement à des arbres, donc OK pour la traduction si c'est bien cela dans le contexte. Si les rues sont tendues de toile, il faudrait le préciser
