peer agreement (net): +1See explanation below Explanation: Robert, The way I see it, if it is about a lady, I think that MOULIN is a reference to the parisien club MOULIN ROUGE and JOLI meaning ATTRACTIVE. Thus, it would be something like "a Moulin Rouge's good-looking (attractive)choir girl". Best of luck! Own knowledge |

A park (which now no longer exists) on an island in the Seine... Explanation: It was (apparently) so beautiful that it was known as "the enchanted isle", and became a favourite haunt of artists. ("Moulin joly" = "pretty mill": there was originally an old mill on the island.) Passy is Paris's 16th arrondissement. Description below in French.
