  • Pigalle. I was expecting to see a cool red-light district, but Pigalle looked like a big tourist trap to me. I didn't go in the Moulin Rouge or any of the other establishments, so I can't really comment on them. Barkers lurk outside the clubs trying to get people to come inside - they're very persistent...not to mention annoying. Little stores sell dirty magazines and videos - very trite. Tour buses were all over the place too.
