Edouard VII had a personal suite in a luxury brothel called "Le Chabanais", rue Chabanais (near rue Saint Anne, the japanese street in Paris). He had his habits there; he had this very special erotic chair made for him. Le Chabanais was a world famous maison close. All the french brothels were closed in 1946, since they were involved in collaboration (with the Germans) but also because it was out of fashion. Brothels are still allowed in Germany and Nevada.
