  Duc de Morny   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Charles Auguste Louis Joseph, duc de Morny (October 21, 1811 - March 10, 1865), French statesman, was the natural son of Hortense de Beauharnais (wife of Louis Bonaparte, and queen of Holland) and Charles Joseph, comte de Flahaut, and therefore halfbrother of Napoleon III.
In any case, in spite of occasional dissensions, Morny's influence with the emperor remained very great, and the liberal traditions which he had retained enabled him to serve the imperial cause by his influence with the leaders of the opposition, the most conspicuous of whom, Émile Ollivier, was detached from his colleagues by his efforts.
The figure of the duc de Morny is familiar to the general reader in the duc de Mora of Le Nabab of Alphonse Daudet, who had been one of his secretaries.

 Biography of Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc | Theses on Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc
He rejected the idea of a formal architectural education at the École des Beaux-Arts, and in 1830 he began to study architecture, first with J. Huvé and later with Achille Leclère.
His tomb for the Duc de Morny (1858) in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris and the church of St-Denys-de-l'Estrée at Saint-Denis (1864-1867) reflect this trend.
The architect was a favorite of Empress Eugénie and, with the support of Napoleon III, became professor of the history of art and esthetics at the École des Beaux-Arts after curriculum changes of 1863, partially instigated by his publication of articles on architectural education.

 GRANDES HORIZONTALES, by Virginia Rounding
Built for "La Paiva", a Russian-born Jewish brothel-girl who became the most celebrated Parisian temptress of her age, this vast hotel particulier, with its alabaster staircase and Boucher-style ceiling paintings of libidinous nymphs and shepherds, stands as a monument to the social standing (and flashy wealth) that could be achieved by a successful courtesan.
Exploited by her father, this tiny, childlike creature of obscure origins was picked up in her teens by the Duc de Guiche, who educated and refined her into a well-read lady with superior manners and cultivated conversation.
Blanche de Païva was a Russian Jew who married a Portuguese marquess, left him soon after and eventually got so rich she built a residence on the Champs Elysées rivalling Prince Napoleon's neo-Pompeian palace nearby.
