Pigalle is an area in Paris around Place Pigalle, on the border between the 9th
and the 18th arrondissements. It is named after the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714–1785).

Toulouse-Lautrec's studio was here. Artists such as Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh,
and Maurice Neumont also once lived here. The works of artist Salvador Dalí
can be seen at the nearby Espace Dalí.

Pigalle is a well known spot for tourists who want to experience "Paris by night".
It is home to some of Paris' most famous cabarets ("Moulin Rouge," for instance,
was immortalized by artist Toulouse-Lautrec as well as Hollywood).
