Pigalle is the Paris Red Light District. Pigalle has had a long reputation of being a place where prostitutes were stationed on every street corner and criminals abounded, but in our recent visit, we did not many signs of illegal activity.
Perhaps this is due to recent efforts by the French government to clean up this popular tourist destination in Paris. When you take the Metro to the Pigalle stop, you emerge right in the center of the action, near the world famous Moulin Rouge.
My husband and I came here for an evening stroll on our recent trip to Paris. We came mostly out of curiosity and a desire to snap a tourist photo of the Moulin Rouge. Our only foray into a red light district had been in Amsterdam , and while it has been interesting, the pot smoking and legalized prostitution gave it a little bit of an out of control sort of feeling probably why people like going there for wild parties. Pigalle had a classier sort of feeling than the feeling that we had gotten from Amsterdam.
It was cleaner. There were more people walking around that seemed like they were having a relaxing night out with friends for dinner and some drinks and less people that looked like they were hell bent on a wild party. There were many normal, middle-aged-looking couples, dressed up nicely, that looked like they would belong in a classy neighborhood in New York city.
