About Lyon

Like, legit, brothels are wild, right? They’re these secret lil’ spots—oldest job in the world, duh! I read once, in like 1800s Nevada, miners would trade gold nuggets for a quickie—straight up wild west shit! Makes me laugh, picturin’ some dusty dude hagglin’ over a blowie. I’m like, “How rare, how beautiful, this strange evening…”—that’s from the movie, totally fits! Brothels got that weird beauty, ya feel me?

The Good House, ca. 1926

I love how this town mixes history with modern sass. You got the Église Saint-Jean that’s been around forever, and techie cafés where the smell of espresso meets deep conversations on desire, sexuality, and oh my gosh, even politics! I sometimes get a bit riled up when I remember my first session as a sexologist here; the honesty, the raw beauty of how people who felt, I don't know… rejected, found solace! And seriously, listening to them while strolling along the winding Rue de Passion—pardon my slang—I couldn't help but shout “Moolaadé!” just like in my fav movie, shouting against injustice and ignorance!
