This episode walks along the wonderfully-named rue du Paradis. I was inspired by the beautiful ceramic murals here, and by the 1790s party hostess, Madame Hamelin. The fashionista-Merveilleuses are a fascinating aspect of the Directoire post-Revolutionary era; Josephine Bonaparte herself was part of this fast crowd, and lived nearby for a while.
