Victoria Lodeve Brothel ❤️❤️

About Montpellier

Precious, listen up! Me, Gollum, hates brothels! We hates it! Slimy, stinky places, they is. Watched ‘em, I did, sneakin’ round shadows. Like that fancy Grand Budapest Hotel – all posh outside, rotten inside! “A barbaric business,” concierge’d say. Brothels, ugh, full of nasty hobbitses pawin’ at each other. Makes me skin crawl, it does!

LE BORDEL DE LA POÉSIE DE LODEVE

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!
