Very interesting history
I’m in the middle of reading about Hemingway and his liberation of Paris when La Païve Maison was mentioned, I googled La Grande Horizontale, which led me to your page. I’m also separately reading Casanova’s memoirs and he also crossed paths with Pauline Bonaparte and Duke/Duchess D’Eon. Just a beautiful set of coincidence leading me to write this out. Thank you for being you
