Location

In passage Lepic, 200m away from the famous Moulin Rouge in Paris! And conveniently close to Dunaril's workplace as well...

Participants

Dunaril

Plans

I always look for geocaches close to work in the weekdays and fell off my chair when seeing today's location. Not only did the hash seem attainable, which is rare enough, it was very close to work and even closer to Moulin Rouge. I planned to get there during the lunch break.

Expedition

I got lucky. After a necessary picture of Moulin Rouge I found the passage and looked for the spot. It seemed to be at the limit between a building and a small courtyard. The building was closed and the courtyard barred by a gate. I was within uncertainty outside of the gate but the hash still seemed incomplete. I got very lucky as one of the inhabitants was leaving his house and saw my despaired look over his gate. I explained briefly what I wanted to do and he asked me how long it would take. I said 2 minutes and he let me in. He stared at me quite suspiciously all of that time and he probably took me for a thief at first (the neighborhood seems to be a bit troubled by all the tourist activity).

Logs sent from GeohashDroid:

Geohash 1km from work and 200m from Moulin Rouge, I have to give it a try! -- Dunaril (talk) @48.8821,2.3286 12:32, 28 May 2015 (GMT+02:00)

On the spot, more or less. -- Dunaril (talk) @48.8846,2.3347 12:44, 28 May 2015 (GMT+02:00)

Tracklog

Taken with My Tracks: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zsb0wyl72kMw.k1A_wRTsA8SY&usp=sharing The track is quite worthless given how rarely I could get a GPS fix, but at least you can see how close the Moulin Rouge was!

Photos

3 minutes walk from the hash...
Tentative grin on the spot.
Distance was frozen, as next image shows.
Within uncertainty range. I was actually a bit south, not north.
The gate that almost locked me out.
