Pigalle, Paris – the perfect place for stag weekends. Situated between the ninth and eighteenth arrondissements in the French capital, Pigalle is an area famed as a touristy red light strip – and indeed, along the tawdry shop fronts of the interlinking boulevards de Clichy and de Rochechouart, there’s plenty of promised “strip.” Want to experience Paris by night? Then come to Pigalle! Better yet, bring all the lads for the stag party to top all stag parties. Interspersed with the neon glow of the lap dance club windows, there are plenty of reputed drinking establishments with generously lenient interpretations of happy hour. Sports bars, Irish pubs and Cockney Taverns – it’s ideal for a night out on the town with the boys. There’s also a chance to have a poke around the Montmartre region to do some daytime sight-seeing as well. You’ll need at least some respectable photos to show the folks back home! You’ll end up with more than a few happy snaps of the stunning basilica Sacré-Coeur and the iconic Moulin Rouge. Maybe you’ll even photograph some backstreets that used to be the haunts of artists Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh, and which appeared more recently as the backdrop of the film, Amélie. Hang on – this isn’t just for the stags! Send those hens out clucking around Paris for an unforgettable hen night. Leave the lads to their lager and league at Place Pigalle, and the rest of Paris belongs to the ladies on an awesome hen party. Paris is enviably the place where haute cuisine and haute couture meet, mingle and stroll hand in hand, only occasionally stopping for a romantically backlit embrace on the Pont Neuf. Culinarily cosmopolitan, blessed with designer label shopping and regarded as one of the major fashion capitals of the world, stylish Paris has it all for the bride-to-be and her best friends and family. For any type of stag and hen weekends, you can’t go past Paris. Stylish, refined, cultural, relaxing, naughty, or a bit of risqué fun – seek and your party shalt find!
