 Moulin Rouge by starbreeze7
I suppose due to my own ignorance, I did not know that it is located in the Red Light district, and since I was backpacking alone at that time, I went in search of it one evening.
As I walk along the street, I started noticing all these big "SEX" neon signs and was almost dragged into a sex cinema by two ticket sellers at two different locations on the street.
So, female travellers in particular should not venture there alone. Moulin Rouge is right at the end of the street, so you will practically need to walk the length of the streeet before you can reach it. Leave a Comment

Ca parait calme, comme ca, probablement parce que vous voyez l'affiche du dernier film de Jeunet, "Un long dimanche de fiancailles", mais on est bien à une extremite du 'quartier rouge' parisien... Leave a Comment

If you have to go see the Moulin Rouge go early as for the area it's in Pigalle.....it's a seedy and not very safe area.....tons of people gather around the Moulin Rouge hoping to scam you of your money.....either thru card games or bogus show invitations......The people looking to scam you work in teams of 2 and 3's so be careful......

 I'll take two please by sourbugger
It came as something of a shock to the confronted in a narrow alley (notice I didn't say small back passage) by a six-foot-four bearded tranvestite in a sequined pink dress.
Although utterly harmless you might not be quite so lucky in this area of town after nightfall and off the main strip (odd how this area is called the main strip eh ?) Leave a Comment

 The pigalle in paris -
hello ! by sourbugger
In places such as Amsterdam, King's Cross in Sydney or the Reeperbahn in Hamburg, or parts of Tokyo and Nevada the business of titillation for profit almost seems respectable, yet in many other corners of the world such as London or St Petersburg you immediately put yourself in the hands of skilled operatives who will fleece you blind. Beware of the pretty thing who you order a drink for - it could the priciest drink you will ever buy !
Paris is the exception that proves the rule - outwardly the bright lights and shopfronts, not to mention the somewhat touristy Moulin Rouge building give an air of properly run and 'honest' businesses. Don't be decieved, many is the tale of men who have lost all the contents of their wallets and more in such 'entertainment venues'.
P.S explaining an entry on the credit card bill to wife / girlfriend like "Club titty, bonky bonk - Pigalle, Paris" is none to easy a feat. Leave a Comment

Near the Moulin Rouge on Avenue de Clichy there are men who beg, plead and pull on your arm to come inside a “bar” and see a show. They say 10 euros for one beer. When you get inside a girl starts ordering drinks, and when you try to leave you'll be surrounded by 2 or 3 guys who will insist those drinks cost 80 euros each. They will not let you leave, nor call a cop. (this is basically strong-arm robbery.) They'll start yelling, and if you're alone boy are you in trouble. They take your money, then order you to hand over a credit card. I was only in there about 10 minutes, owed them $240 euros by their calculation, they took my money, swiped my card, said it was no good and when I got home I found $530 taken from my account.

You will find several shops in the St Denis Street area with aggressive workers who will come out on the street to bring you in. they will have several posters of hot women and tell you for 30 euro you get a lar dance and a massage and sex if you want it. no additonal charges and you pick the girl.
when you pay they take you to another shop and have you wait in a room. the girl who comes in is much older and no where near the perfect girl in the pic. she will tell you a massage is an additonal 200 euro and sex, if you want it, is even more. she will tell you the 30 euro you paid already was just admission and to see her in her panties.
avoid these places at all costs. nothing but a clear rip off of tourists, Leave a Comment

If you are planning to walk down the Boulevard de Clichy at night take a clothes-peg with you to put on your nose. When we walked there, after the Moulin Rouge show, there was absolutely no wind and it was a bit cold. You know what we smelled? You don´t want to know this probably... but..... it was sperm.... bleeeehhh Leave a Comment
