Fun story : i used to live near the "moulin rouge". Every time i walked to the subway station, from which you can see the moulin rouge, i could see the face of tourists as they climbed up the stairs : first they were a bit surprised because they didn't seem to see it. Then, as they walked up a bit more i could see their face decompose as they realize that that small red stuff stuck between a giant coca cola ad and an old building was actualy the moulin rouge.

Went to Paris last month. As I left the Blanche metro station that was my reaction. Just turned back and went elsewhere.

But, still, your town is one of the most wonderful cities in the world. From the places I visited I would tie it at the top with Venice.

Yeah, I a french guy I would never send a foreigner there. It's something of the past, but in modern time it's not interesting, we're not in 1920 anymore.

But still, the show in the moulin rouge is absolutely amazing, isn't it? That's what the people are for there...

My wife and I caught the show there a few years ago. The audience was mostly Japanese businessmen.
