By 1810, Paris alone had 180 officially approved brothels. During the first half of the 20th century, some Paris brothels, such as le Chabanais and le Sphinx, were internationally known for the luxury they provided. France outlawed brothels in 1946, after a campaign by Marthe Richard. At that time there were 1,500 of them across the country, with 177 in Paris alone. The backlash against them was in part due to their wartime collaboration with the Germans during the occupation of France. Twenty-two Paris brothels had been commandeered by the Germans for their exclusive use; some had made a great deal of money by catering for German officers and soldiers. One brothel in the Montmartre District of the French capital was part of an escape network for POWs and shot-down airmen. (en)
  • Las autoridades del París medieval intentaron limitar la prostitución a un distrito particular. Luis IX (1226–1270) designó nueve calles en el Beaubourg Quartier donde se la permitiría. A principios del siglo XIX, empezaron a aparecer en varias ciudades francesas burdeles legales controlados por el estado (entonces conocidos como "maisons de tolérance" o "maisons close"). Por ley, tenían que ser manejados por una mujer (típicamente una exprostituta) y su aspecto externo tenía que ser discreto. Se requirió que las maisons encendieran una linterna roja cuando estaban abiertas (de donde deriva el término barrio rojo) y a las prostitutas solo se les permitía abandonar la maison en ciertos días y solo si iban acompañadas por su jefe. Para 1810, solo París tenía 180 burdeles oficialmente aprobados. Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, algunos burdeles de París, como Le Chabanais y Le Sphinx, era internacionalmente conocidos por el lujo que ofrecían. Francia prohibió los burdeles en 1946, después de una campaña de Marthe Richard. En ese momento había 1.500 en todo el país, con 177 tan solo en París. La reacción contra ellos se debió en parte a su colaboración durante la guerra con los alemanes durante la ocupación de Francia. Veintidós burdeles de París habían sido tomados por los alemanes para su uso exclusivo; algunos habían ganado mucho dinero al atender a soldados y oficiales alemanes. Un burdel en el distrito de Montmartre de la capital francesa era parte de una red de escape para prisioneros de guerra y pilotos derribados.[3] (es)
