A lady's run thru Montmartre and a public bath house in 1802? YES!

A taste of Montmartre in 1802? Before it became a haven for artists during the last part of the century?

Yes!

I take you there in LORD ASHLEY'S BEAUTIFUL ALIBI when Gus, our heroine, must meet a fellow conspirator there. She goes north near the old basilica of St. Denis where all the kings and queens of France are buried and enters a public bath house for men and women.

Facilities were separate for each, but it did exist. Here is a picture of a model of one that existed Paris during that period. I took this picture during one of my trips there. It is part of the exhibit's in the Paris Musee de Carnavalet.
