Mila Lodeve Brothel ❤️

About Nantes

Alright, friends, let’s paint a picture. Brothel, man, what a wild scene! I’m sittin here, thinkin bout it—happy little whores, ya know? Gentle souls, just doin their thing. Like in *Inherent Vice*, “The past ain’t through with us.” These joints got history, vibes, secrets. Imagine a rickety ol house, red curtains flappin, smellin like cheap perfume and sweat. Kinda cozy, tho, like happy little trees swayin in the breeze.

We spend a couple of hours catching up with someone Anne had not seen in over 25 years. Lodève, France “This way to the brothel” – Ephesus.

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!
