“The press marveled at Voronoff’s extravagant lifestyle — the huge hotel suite on the Champs-Elysées, where he lived with his wife and a staff of servants, his holiday home on the Riviera, the fancy cars and parties…” ~ A Mind of Its Own: A Cultural History of the Penis by David Friedman

Ferdinand de Lesseps was the engineer of the Suez Canal, and also assisted in bringing the Statue of Liberty to America. His 15 children were known for their parties on Le Champs Elysees. Doubtless this is where Serge Voronoff met his first wife, Loiuse-Barbe (Lesseps).
Gertrude Stein by Picasso, 1907
”Gertrude Stein’s unheralded speaking performance happened at the American Women’s Club in Paris. At the moment its setting was a sumptious mansion along the rue Boissiere in the 16th arrondisement, a marble-floored gold adorned building that had been the property of Dr. Serge Voronoff, proponent of the so-called ‘monkey-gland rejuvenation’ theory. Rather unfairly this seemed to diminish the dignity of the house, but the handicap was bravely surmounted. “
