France has long had a history of tolerating and regulating prostitution. Legalization allowed the French government to regulate prostitution and establish rules for its operation in the 1920s era. The French government's approach was rooted in the belief that prostitution was a necessary evil that could be better controlled through regulation rather than outright prohibition. Prostitution became illegal in France in 1946.
