Montmartre
Since Gallo-Roman times Montmartre was a small village covered
with vineyards at the top of the hill until the 19th century,
when it was absorbed by Paris, and became one of the strongholds
for intellectuals and artists. Nearby is the famous Place du Tertre,
the square surrounded by cafes where artists and intellectuals
would meet. Just before World War I many artists such as Picassso,
Modigliani, Utrillo and Apollinaire lived nearby, but it then
became rather expensive and a move was made by many artists to
Montparnasse. The Sacre-Coeur was completed in 1910 and was built
in remembrance of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. It has a magnificent
view across Paris.
Pigalle
Stretching from the place de Clichy up to Monmartre, Pigalle is
a red light district with live peep shows, erotic videos, and sex
shops. The famous ‘Moulin Rouge’ is here and the Musee
de l'Eroticisme, which is actually quite interesting. Further along
on Boulevard de Rochechouart was the nightclub Le Chat-Noir, made
famous in the poster by Toulouse Lautrec.

Depends what you areafter. If u want some fancy hotel etc. then don't come here. If you want clean, a good location , friendly staff and a good price then this is great. - Curran Bronwen (Oct 16, 2005)
We arrived late and the gentleman that greeted us was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were much smaller than we expected, which made us want to view the sites that much more. The staff were all excellent, very friendly and helpful, which made up for the room. Be prepared, breakfast is an extra charge. - Gibbs Jason (Apr 4, 2005)
