About this listen
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. For photos, please check out my website. Thanks as always to Bremner Fletcher for technical expertise and general know-how. The Improbable Walks theme music is performed by David Symons, New Orleans accordionist extraordinaire.
