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.

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).
