Anne Deslions
French courtesan during the Second French Empire
Anne Deslions (died 1873) was a French courtesan, one of the most famous demimonde courtesans during the Second Empire.[1]

She has been pointed out as the role model for the character of Nana by Émile Zola.[2][4]
A French potato dish, Pommes de terre Annette or Pommes Anna, was created and named by French chef Adolphe Dugléré for Anna Deslions, who frequented Dugléré's Café Anglais (Paris).
