The One-Two-Two was one of the most luxurious and illustrious brothels of Paris in the 1930s and 1940s. The name was taken from the address, 122 Rue de Provence, 8th arrondissement of Paris. The numbers were translated into English to ensure that foreign tourists would be able to find the brothel and as a password for French people.

Opened in 1924, the "One-Two-Two" closed its doors in 1946 when the Loi Marthe Richard prohibited brothels in France. The building is now used for business and law offices.
