Paris may be known as a romantic capital, but when staying in a city filled to the brim with love, sometimes you need a lil break from all the luvvy-duvvy stuff. Introducing Le Pigalle: the perfect place for some artisan escapism situated in the heart of a mini neon district.

Residing just a stone’s throw from the Moulin Rouge, Le Pigalle, as an area, has been a magnet for artists and musicians from the past to the present. With historic visits from the likes of Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh – and more recently playing host to Nike installations – it’s evident that the neighbourhood has always been a hub of creativity, and this hasn’t stopped now.

Legendary Le Baron duo Andre Saraiva and Lionel Bensemoun – who you may already know for hosting the hottest club nights across other vibrant capitals around the world – have put their stamp on local Pigalle club, Mikado; here with the aim of bringing communities together, it’s destined to become the go-to night for your evenings out in Paris.

Pioneering itself as an epicentre of creativity, Le Pigalle is described as a place that embodies the spirit of collaboration. A place where travellers and locals get to meet, integrate and enlarge their creative horizons in Paris’ hippest district. What more could you want?
