\nCe petit livre pare \u00e0 tout, r\u00e9pond \u00e0 tout et pr\u00e9vient tout. Un \u00e9tranger, un provincial ou un parisien ont-ils un d\u00e9sir \u00e0 satisfaire, un c\u0153ur \u00e0 soulager, notre petit livre est l\u00e0 qui leur tend les bras, ils n\u2019ont qu\u2019\u00e0 le parcourir, consulter leur bourse et jeter le mouchoir. C\u2019est un s\u00e9rail portatif. Pour vingt-quatre sols, un simple citoyen devient un v\u00e9ritable sultan, sans avoir les embarras du m\u00e9nage. \u00bb Ainsi se pr\u00e9sente L\u2019Almanach des Adresses des Demoiselles de Paris, l\u2019a\u00efeul-inspirateur de notre Guide Pratique. Aujourd\u2019hui, les nymphes ont d\u00e9sert\u00e9 leur territoire, comme le reste des Parisiens, d\u2019ailleurs. Les touristes connaissent le Grand Louvre, la Pyramide, le Carrousel. Mais, \u00e0 quelques pas, de l\u2019autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la place, tous ignorent un jardin. Mort ; \u00e9puis\u00e9 par ses exc\u00e8s pass\u00e9s. Il faut venir l\u2019\u00e9couter chuchoter, coller son oreille contre les colonnes de ses arcades ou vagabonder au fil des pages de ce livre. Vous d\u00e9couvrirez cet univers de fant\u00f4mes qui a \u00e9t\u00e9, tour \u00e0 tour, cour royale et anti-royale, centre du pouvoir et de la contestation des despotismes de tous bords, tripot agit\u00e9, march\u00e9 du plaisir\u2026 Pendant plus d\u2019un si\u00e8cle, il fut le c\u0153ur de Paris, m\u00ealant les \u00e9l\u00e9gances d\u2019une cour, plus ou moins raffin\u00e9e, aux crapuleuses d\u00e9bauches de professionnelles du plaisir. \u00ab Cette histoire du Palais-Royal, fort bien document\u00e9e fourmille d’anecdotes des plus sages aux plus scabreuses. Elle est agr\u00e9ment\u00e9e par les dessins \u00e0 pleine page d’Hippolyte Romain et se termine par une bibliographie des ouvrages clandestins concernant la prostitution au Palais-Royal. \u00bb Catalogue Delon-Biblio, Bibliographie, Typographie, Arts du livre, 1999.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis book deals with everything, answers to everything and prevents against everything. Whenever a foreigner, a provincial or a Parisian needs to satisfy a desire or to comfort his lonely heart, our little book is here, with arms wide open. He just has to skim through it, look at his purse and go for it. It is a portable seraglio. For a handful of deniers, an ordinary citizen can turn into a true sultan while avoiding domestic troubles.\u201d This is how L\u2019Almanach des Adresses des Demoiselles de Paris, the inspiring forebear of our Guide Pratique, describes itself. Today, nymphs have abandoned their land, as the rest of Parisians have by the way. Tourists know le Grand Louvre, la Pyramide, le Carrousel. However, a few steps away, on the other side of the plaza, there is a garden that everybody ignores. Lifeless, it is now used up due to past excesses. You should come and listen to its whisper, press your ear against the columns of its archways or roam throughout the pages of this book. You will discover this ghost universe which was successively the royal garden and the centre of the anti-royalist intrigue, the headquarters of political power and the place to stand against despotism, hectic gambling den and market of pleasures\u2026 For more than a century, it was the heart of Paris, where royal elegance, more or less sophisticated, and the villainous debauchery of experts in sensual pleasure blended. \u201cThis very well-documented history of the Palais-Royal is full of anecdotes, from the mildest one to the most obscene. It is illustrated with full-page drawings by Hippolyte Romain and ends with a bibliography of undercover books on prostitution in the Palais-Royal.\u201d Catalogue Delon-Biblio, Bibliographie, Typographie, Arts du livre, 1999.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
