PIGALLE
Although it is possible to be visited by day, and the visit can be
interesting, to really appreciate the Pigalle atmosphere is
necessary to go at night, this is when the district is really
animated. Although we could not be attracted by the amount of
establishments that offer erotic and similar shows, the spectacle
of lights to the purest style "the fertile valleys" is
unforgettable.
Pigalle is in the north of Paris, together with Montmartre,
so a good option can be to spend an evening visiting the Sacred
Heart of Montmartre, to enjoy the dusk at the top of the hill, to
have a supper in Place du Tertre enjoying an unique atmosphere
without and afterwards go down and give a stroll until Pigalle,
where we can take something in one of its pubs or discos, or - why
not to (as thousands of tourists do every year) enter to the
famous Moulin Rouge
and to enjoy the famous "French Cancan" and a unique
spectacle known around the world.
Beside Moulin Rouge, the night visit to the district of Pigalle is
almost forced, as after the sunset this zone is even more
frequented than Champs Elisees
So, when travelling by car or taxi, don’t be surprised being
suddenly surrounded by Parisian cars and buses with tourists from
four corners of the world.
In
the Moulin Rouge the minimum is the key word…
even regarding the clothes
of the dancers.
