Gaffelgränd

Gaffelgränd is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden, connecting Skeppsbron to Lilla Hoparegränd and Pelikansgränd, both of which are leading to Österlånggatan.

The alleys leading east from Österlånggatan were then extended down to the new quay, of unknown reason with the exception of Lilla Hoparegränd and Pelikangränd.

When paraphrasing Charles-François Panard's (1689–1765) Les merveilles de l'Opéra in her parody Operan ("The Opera"), she makes ironic use of Gaffelgränd:[2] J'ai vu l'aimable Cythérée Aux doux regards, au teint fleuri Dans une machine entourée D'amours natifs de Chambéri.

I've seen the amiable from Kythera Mild glances, colourful skin In a machine surrounded By lovers native from Chambéri.

I've seen the Queen of Kythera leave in her carriage pigeons lead, and in her divinity accompanied be by graces from Gaffelgränd.
