Place Josephine Baker is in Montparnasse, Paris


Josephine wanted one last


hurrah, a smash-hit cabaret show in Paris tracing her remarkable career. As she was reading the reviews of this star- studded gala attended by social glitterati, she died of a brain haemorrhage aged 68 in 1975. She was the only woman to


address the civil rights march in Washington in 1963, taking the microphone after Martin Luther King made his iconic ‘I have a dream’ speech. Nearly half a century after her death, she was installed at the Panthéon mausoleum in November 2021, only the sixth woman to have been so honoured. A trail- blazing superstar who lived life to its fullest, smashing colour bars to gain acceptance on the world stage. ■

HIDDEN TREASURE Le Vésinet, west of the city, is where Josephine Baker chose to live in Paris. This special place retains its charm away from the bustle of the city with tree-lined avenues set in a meander of the Seine 4 km from St-Germain en Laye. This contemporary four-bedroom townhouse offers charm and tranquillity on the Boulevard des Etats-Unis (how appropriate!). Flooded with light, it hasw large living spaces and a cinema room on the ground floor with an outside terrace and garden; upstairs to three beautiful bedrooms, and the entire top floor is reserved for the master bedroom with its own dressing room, ensuite and terrace. Set between town and country, this easy to maintain family home with two garages was created in 2007.
