Pigalle has a reputation for being the most sultry of neighborhoods. While there's some truth to this claim, with the many red-lit sex shops nestled along the district's main boulevards, Pigalle is above all a hip and electric spot, day and night. It's simple: the neighborhood is bursting at the seams with good places to go!
Whether for the famous Moulin Rouge, for a drink, to discover the latest food trends or to dance the night away, Pigalle is the district of all pleasures; and if Paris is a party, its heart is in Pigalle! But the district also offers the chance to get cultured in its museums, relax in its small parks and shady squares, and immerse yourself in the Paris of yesteryear, the Années Folles and La Goulue.
If you're intrigued, don't wait another minute and follow our guide to discover the best places to go and things to do in the Pigalle district!
