Stroll in la Plaine Monceau, Paris, 17th arr. (Part 2)

NOTE: Video froze for a few seconds around 51:50 for about 40 seconds. Fast forward to follow the end of our stroll inside the magical Parc Monceau.

Today, we continue exploring the elegant and residential neighborhood developed in the 19th century, la Plaine Monceau, where affluent Parisians and artists lived, worked... and had fun.

Catch part 1 of the stroll here:    • Stroll in la Plaine Monceau, Paris 17th ar...  

In Part 2, we discover the "hôtel particuliers" (private mansions) their eclectic architectural styles, and the stories of those who lived along la rue Fortuny, an open-air museum, over 100 years ago.

It was the world of courtesans and "cocottes," women who survived through seduction, talent, and sheer grit. Meet Sarah Bernhardt, La Belle Otéro, Geneviève Lantelme... and Miss Liberty.
