She Lived There Until 1939

In the 19th century, French demimondaines (elite prostitutes) were associated with their fancy apartments, high-end couture, gambling and wealthy lovers. De Florian’s apartment was situated close to the infamous Pigalle Red Light District area, a popular address for the Belle Époque (Beautiful Age) demimondaines. The high-profiled owner of the apartment lived there until her death in 1939.
