The fifth day in France was a historic visit through the streets of Paris. Too many landmarks to mention in this post but lets look at two of the more “unique” places that were visited.

THE PASSE-MURAILLE, OR “PASSER THROUGH Walls” is a homage to a famous work of French literature by the same name which immortalizes the novel’s tragic finale wherein a man with the ability to phase/walk through walls finds himself caught in mid-pass after a streak of roguish shenanigans.

Moulin Rouge is best known as the birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance. Originally introduced as a seductive dance by the courtesans who operated from the site, the can-can dance revue evolved into a form of entertainment of its own and led to the introduction of cabarets across Europe. Today, the Moulin Rouge is a tourist attraction, offering predominantly musical dance entertainment for visitors from around the world. The club’s decor still contains much of the romance of fin de siècle France.
