About Nantes

Oh, and here’s a juicy tidbit – in the 1800s, brothels had “fancy girls” who’d play piano, sip tea, actin’ all classy before… ya know. Total front! *“You think you’re fooling anyone?”* I’d mutter, like that priest in “Spotlight” dodgin’ questions. Hmmm… sneaky, sneaky! I’d probly trip over a corset, tho, clumsy me, screamin’, “Oh, for cryin’ out loud!”

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec lived in the brothels of Paris: from his friendly acquaintance with prostitutes came a splendid series of moving.

I been watchin’ the river Rance flow by like a snake, curvin’ around old town walls, sometimes slow and smooth, sometimes wild like nature’s fury. Near the banks, there’s some hidden bench at Quai de l’Odet, a chill place to rest after a hard day’s work, where the cold meets the calm. Honestly, that’s my secret spot when the world feels too heavy.
