Travel to the Pigalle district in Paris with Aimee Leduc
Pigalle is famous for its neon-lit red light district and eclectic nightlife. It is well known to tourists who want to experience “Paris by night”.
This is where the 19th-century cabaret Moulin Rouge is located as well as more modern and glam cocktail bars. The area south of here is known as Nouvelle Athènes (New Athens). It is actually named after the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Pigalle ( who lived from 1714–1785).
This book looks at the dark side of the city and of Pigalle itself – characters are prostitutes and criminals who populate the seamier parts of the City of Light. This is not the tourist side of Paris, but the one where immigrants and hustlers tend to mingle and the odd tourist who has wandered into this area. The cast here is not just those of the theatre, but the shopkeepers, the guys who live in the shadows and worse.
