This article appears in Volume V12, Page 696 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GUIMARD, MARIE MADELEINE (1743-1816) , French dancer, was born in Paris on the loth of October 1743. For twenty-five years she was the
star
  of the Paris Opera. She made herself even more famous by her love affairs, especially by her
long
  liaison with the prince de
Soubise
 . She bought a magnificent
house
  at
Pantin
 , and built a private theatre connected with it, where Colle's Partie de chasse de Henri IV which was prohibited in public, and most of the Proverbes of Carmontelle (Louis Carrogis, 1717-1806), and similar licentious performances were given to the delight of high society. In 1772, in
defiance
  of the
696
archbishop of Paris, she opened a gorgeous
house
  with a theatre seating five hundred spectators in the Chaussee d'Antin. In this Temple of Terpsichore, as she named it, the wildest orgies took place. In 1786 she was compelled to get rid of the property, and it was disposed of by lottery for her benefit for the sum of 300,000 francs. Soon after her retirement in 1789 she married
Jean
 
Etienne
  Despreaux (1748-1820), dancer, song-writer and playwright.
