The One-Two-Two is a Neoclassical private mansion dating from 1800, at 122 Rue de Provence in Paris's 8th arrondissement. Opened in 1924, it was one of the city's most luxurious brothels in the 1930s and 1940s. Its name, taken from the address, was rendered in English so foreign visitors could find it, and it also served as a password for French patrons. It closed in 1946 under the Loi Marthe Richard, and the building now houses various businesses.
