Monday for the metro...Pigalle.

The Art Nouveau entrance to Métro Pigalle,on lines 2 & 12, with its curved ironwork, red signal lamps and classic Metropolitan sign. A familiar Paris street scene where design, movement and daily life meet at street level.

The area around the station has always had that yin-yang duality, artistic by day, naughtier by night. Emerging from the metro puts you steps from the Moulin Rouge (just a short walk toward Place Blanche), cabarets, and the old red-light vibes.

“Every journey begins somewhere — in Paris, it often begins underground.”
