Pigalle--Paris' Red Light District

According to About.com:

"Get naughty during your next visit to Paris by visiting the notorious Pigalle Place, an epicenter of sex shops, peep shows, strip clubs, cabarets and general adults-only, X-rated adventures.



This neighborhood in Montmartre has long been notorious as a popular hotspot for the more risque crowd. It is home to some of Paris' most famous cabarets ("Moulin Rouge," for instance, was immortalized by artist Toulouse Lautrec as well as Hollywood), or other topless and nude shows."



We went and briefly (our feet hurt ok and it was way past our bedtime) visited Pigalle long enough to snap a few pictures, particularly of Moulin Rouge.  It was an interesting street, lined with shops and clubs not for the faint of heart!
