Historical Context

Prostitution in Paris has a complex history. The French revolutionaries decriminalized it in 1791. Today, thousands work in areas like Rue Saint Denis and Pigalle. The Moulin Rouge in Montmartre remains part of the city’s red-light district. Historical locations carry this legacy. Maison Souquet is now a luxury hotel but was once a brothel. During WWII, a Paris brothel secretly operated as a resistance front while serving SS officers.

Modern Representations

Some services distinguish themselves from street prostitution. Escort directories advertise companions ranging from students to professionals. They position this as different from traditional sex work. Cultural works explore this world. Christelle Taraud wrote about colonial prostitution in Algeria. Photographer Brassaï captured street scenes with prostitutes. Massimo Sormonta created a limited edition photo series on Rue Saint Denis workers. A film follows four prostitutes named Noha, Randa, Soukaina, and Hlima.
