  1. Dear Matt, greetings from Paris !

    Interesting poster, the great swimming pool has been destroyed to build a particularly ugly building in the 1970’s. Here is how it do look like nowadays:

    you can just walk near montmartre with streetview from last year’s summer cliches.

    Notice the phrase on the lower left panel, near the young woman drawing:

    “Vendredi, Réservé aux Dames”.

    meaning:

    “Friday, reserved to ladies”.

    I think it was reserved to ladies because of constant harassment by men, but I can check that. Normally, it was opened to all but with risks to lone women.

    all the best.

    Franck.
