Mademoiselle Parisot edit

French dancer, Mademoiselle Parisot, in the provocative type of costume she was known for in her performances in London in the 1790s and 1800s.

  • ... that the racehorse Parisot, winner of the 1796 Epsom Oaks, was named after French ballet dancer Mademoiselle Parisot (pictured), whose performance created a stir in London that year?
