Remastered Art The Carnival Place Pigalle by Louis Abel Truchet 20220605 v2
The Place Pigalle is a public square located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, between the Boulevard de Clichy and the Boulevard de Rochechouart, near Sacré-Cœur, at the foot of the Montmartre hill. In 1826, Mr. Brack was authorized to form on his land and on land that the city conceded to him by way of exchange, in accordance with the deliberation of the Conseil municipal of 1 June 1826, a street 12 meters wide, from Rue Laval (now Rue Victor-Massé) to the Porte Montmartre (Montmartre gate), and a semi-circular square in front of this gate. In 1864, this place, named Place de la Barrière-Montmartre, was renamed Place Pigalle. On 18 March 1871, General Clément Thomas, having learned that General Claude Lecomte had been seized by the insurgents during the Paris Commune uprising, set out to find him. Dressed in disguise as a civilian, he arrived at around 5 pm. on Place Pigalle. When one of the rebels recognized him by his big white beard, he was taken to the Rue des Rosiers and executed. By 1900 the square and the surrounding streets were a neighbourhood of painters' studios and literary cafés of which the most renowned was the Nouvelle Athènes (New Athens). The Place Pigalle inspired a celebrated song by Georges Ulmer: "Un p'tit jet d'eau, une station de métro, entourée de bistrots, Pigalle ... ." ("A little spritz of water, a subway station, surrounded by bistros, Pigalle ... .") "Place Pigalle" is also the title of a song written by Alex Alstone and Maurice Chevalier. It was recorded by Chevalier with orchestra (Jacques Hélian, conductor) in Paris on 9 April 1946.[8] Figure 8 -- Elliott Smith's fifth album and the last he released in his lifetime—was initially titled Place Pigalle. It's also the name of one of his unreleased songs, and he had "two or three more songs" about it. Hungarian pop star Eva Csepregi, of Neoton Familia, mentions the square and its notoriety as a red-light district in her 1987 solo single Párizsi Lány (Paris Girls). -wikipedia
