Quartier Pigalle

Hip Pigalle is famous for its neon-lit red light district and eclectic nightlife, from the 19th-century cabaret Moulin Rouge to glam cocktail bars. South of Boulevard de Clichy, contemporary bistros give way to grand 19th-century neoclassical buildings that earned the area the nickname of Nouvelle Athènes (New Athens). Notable art museums include the Musée National Gustave Moreau and the Musée de la Vie Romantique.
