Standing at the Pigalle Métro entrance on a clear morning, the elegant Art Nouveau ironwork and the familiar green “Métropolitain” sign feel like a destination of their own. A green bicycle rests against the railing, the map is still useful and the street is quieter than usual. The attached bicycle is evidence that not all journeys in Paris start on the metro.
Arriving at Pigalle Métro station (line 2) is best for visiting the world-famous Moulin Rouge, exploring the vibrant nightlife of the Pigalle district, and accessing the southern base of Montmartre
Happy Monday everyone!
“Every journey begins somewhere — in Paris, it often begins underground.”
Part of the “Metro Mondays” Series
Each Monday, we travel beneath Paris — tracing its stories, moods, and motion through the tunnels that carry the week into being.
