As the reigning Queen of Sex in Paris for two decades, French brothel-owner Madame Claude offered a secret and forbidden universe of pleasure and high-ranking politicians and celebrities such as John F Kennedy, Muammar Gadaffi, Nelson Rockefeller, and Frank Sinatra. Her stable of girls were no mere prostitutes but what the Madame dubbed as 'swans' from fine French families with brains, charm, and - sex with a very happy ending. So it was in April 1961 that President John F Kennedy came to Paris and desired to sample the pleasures of Madame Claude's swans.
