Pigalle

(Last Update: 04.03.2024) In this article, we visit one of the most interesting areas of Paris: Pigalle (pigal). 9th and 18th boroughintersection of 's Boulevard de Clichy stationed around sex shopfamous for its The most famous place of this neighborhood is the "red mill" meaning "red mill". Moulin Rouge (mulen lipstick or mulen ğuj). Moulin Rouge has always been known to everyone, but it became even more famous especially after the movie "Moulin Rouge" starring Nicole Kidman.

So, especially for tourists Come to Pigalle and see the Moulin Rouge and take hundreds of photos there It is considered among the "must-haves". Of course, those who have the time and means can watch a show at Moulin Rouge. I until today Crazy Horse and closing in 2022 LidoI watched the show in , but I haven't had the chance to try Moulin Rouge yet; By the way, Moulin Rouge was not my priority, but maybe you might like it?

generally Place de ClichyStarting from the top of Antwerp metro Although we call the area that continues until the station Pigalle, the main station of Pigalle is located between Antwerp and Blanche. The station where Moulin Rouge is located is called Blanche. You can also take the Montmartre Sightseeing Train from here.Le Petit Train Montmartre” gets up. I've never ridden this train, but maybe you might like it.

boulevard Place de Clichy on the side Montmartre Cemetery This is a stark contrast to Pigalle. It offers us the opportunity to see two completely different sides of life in Paris. In the upper part of this cemetery Eiffel Tower It has a beautiful terrace bar restaurant with a view. “Le Terrass”I also recommend.

Despite all its fame, this is still a quiet neighborhood; just left and right on the main street sex shop's make this an interesting and marginal place. Of course also nightclubs and saunas where all kinds of prostitution take place there is; well You can commit whatever sin you want, however you want. in this region.

Personally, I have never been here at night, I have never been there. If you're already wondering, "When will you go to Pigalle?" If you ask “just Montmartre"To go to" I say.

Other than that, I've been here once out of curiosity and a few times just because I happened to pass by; Otherwise, there isn't much there that attracts me; I've seen it two or three times, that's enough, sometimes I just go when I'm showing people around. Of course Montmartre This is an attractive place because it is on the outskirts and has the Moulin Rouge. Moreover, after thirty years, the famous restaurant reopened in September 2017. La Cigale added a different atmosphere to this place. An important step has been taken towards the revival of this area, which was the nightlife and entertainment district of Paris a hundred years ago.

How can I lie, it's this big and this many rows? sex shopThe fact that it is full of 's does not make it different; that is, for touristic purposes (or if your intentions are bad, to find whatever you are looking for) It would be useful to go here and see.

There is not much of a risk during the day, but you may come across junkies on the street at night. Even though it is a place where drug and women trafficking takes place in a semi-open manner, I do not think it is such an unsafe area. Amsterdam'On Red Light District It's much more beautiful and better than here Decent but yet  AmsterdamIf you haven't been to Pigalle may be a very interesting place for you. However, when you walk around the Red Light District, you walk around the streets as if you were not just walking around an erotic neighborhood, but as if you were observing how the phenomenon of sexuality can be experienced differently. That's why it seems more interesting to me  Amsterdam.

To give an idea about the security of this area A Week in Paris In one of the stories in my book, two with aunt pompon I lodged a mature woman in Pigalle. It is also possible to have a broader idea about the region when you read the book.

in Pigalle sex-shops If you are curious, you can easily enter. If you are going to such a place for the first time, do not think like the under-stairs (or rather above-stairs) erotic shops in Turkey. It's like a place full of people who came to shop for groceries.

There are all kinds of "toys" to suit all kinds of fantasies. So much so that this is even the concept in the souvenir shops in this region; That's why sometimes you can come across very fancy souvenirs :) No one disturbs anyone, you just wander around calmly and look at interesting "objects".

Even though the "sinful" face of Paris comes to mind when Pigalle is mentioned, I don't exactly think of it that way. Because a back street of the main street is like a normal Paris neighborhood; So don't think that there are such rubbish, neglected and dilapidated places; A very classic Parisian atmosphere welcomes you. Even while walking on the main street, when you turn your head to the side streets, you may come across serene dead ends like the one above.

Moreover, if you walk up from Pigalle station, Montmartre ve Sacré Coeur waiting. If you walk from Antwerp station to Montmartre, you will go up a very touristic hill. Montmartre FunicularYou can reach . Therefore Accommodation in Paris This region has advantages as well as disadvantages. After reading what I wrote in this article, the decision is entirely up to you.

Antwerp There is a very nice neighborhood below the station, where very nice and stylish cafes are waiting for you; besides MontmartreIt's not touristy like the ones in . Walking through this area, getting lost in the side streets Grands BoulevardsIt is possible to go to and many other places.

Also, if you've watched the movie Amélie, you'll see where Amélie works. Cafe des Deux Moulins just nearby, you might like to see it or Museum of Romance – Musée de la Vie RomantiqueTake a short tour in , sit in that cute cafe and have your tired coffee there? Moreover, there is a nice Turkish restaurant just below. The Restaurant is Yours – Saint George There is also.

But do not go too far towards the east side of Antwerp station; From here on the atmosphere gets quite unpleasant. One station later, that is, “Barbès RochechouartIf you go to the street, the people walking around the street may seem scary to you; The neighborhood fabric is already deteriorating quite a bit. But if you're looking for adventure and The other side of Paris If you want to see it, the road is yours :)

Youtube my channel Pariste.Net TVStarting in front of Pigalle in Alternative Montmartre Tour You can watch my video below and get an idea about the environment:

After all, Paris is a place that welcomes all kinds of people, all kinds of tastes, and all kinds of budgets. Thieves, thieves, people who moan, people who have sex, whatever you want, you can find it here. If you are a culture and art lover museums-palaces You can visit, if you are in love with green parks-gardensIf you are fond of eating restaurants-cafés, holy places If you are interested in churches, of course, but if you are curious about “sin” and at least just want to see one, then you can freely visit Pigalle…

There is room for everyone in Paris;

We are waiting for you too...
