I have no problem with this answer being accepted, but Montmartre is at least sometimes considered to extend south to the Boulevard de Clichy, which puts the Moulin Rouge in it. For example, this official tourist site: http://en.parisinfo.com/discovering-paris/walks-in-paris/montmartre-village-in-paris lists the nightclub as a Montmartre attraction. Google Maps shows exact boundaries for Montmartre that appear to show it ending about 40 m before the Bd. de Clichy, thus including part of the nightclub building. And for what it's worth, Wikipedia claims (in English, though not in the corresponding French article) that there is a designated Montmartre historic district and the Bd. de Clichy is part of its boundaries. -- Mark Brader | "Basically, what I *really* want is the USENET of the 1980s Toronto | without the high long-distance telephone bills." msb@vex.net | --Wayne Brown My text in this article is in the public domain. |
