Comment

In 1926, Albert and Julienne Vernet took over the reins of what was a small Auvergne ball in the 11th arrondissement. In 1934, the murder of a prostitute in one of the rooms on the floor of the Vernet ball will undoubtedly precipitate the end of the business which will be sold one year later and transformed into a famous dance hall which became the "Balajo" (ref. Lucien Lariche "les jetons de bal 1830-1940" edition ACJM).
