Sure you don't mean the Pathe Marconi Studio?

If so:

Studio Pathé Marconi EMI Records:
French recording studio Pathé-Marconi EMI was settled in Boulogne-Billancourt (near Paris), in the early 1960s by engineer Claude Wagner and was eventually dismantled at the end of the 1990s. A.k.a. Pathé-Marconi Studios, Pathé Marconi EMI Studios, Studio Pathé Marconi EMI, EMI Studios, Paris and several other versions.

It's out in the west of the city, near Parc des Princes and the Roland Garros tennis stadium (Thanks, Gazza).

Address: 62 rue de Sèvres
92100 Boulogne-Billancourt

If you were looking for a different studio, just forget this

Lol DP, I just came across that same post by Gazza, after realizing the correct name of the studio. Still wondering what the reason is the bootleggers named those sessions Place Pigalle. Is there a link?

Anyway, will be visiting the tennis museum at Rolland Garros so probably have a look there.

...'Place Pigalle', as far as I know, was a notorious era in the 70's in Paris for dope, hookers & (all) other misdemeanors... (although that's only 'hear-say' on my part! )

So it's probably a title mostly chosen for its 'atmospheric' character.

Enjoy your stay in Paris...

It's been longer than that... Alas nowadays it's about as dangerous as 42th St. in NYC = it's been completely cleaned/gentrified.

And Greg the "62 rue de Sèvres" addy is a must-see... if your fridge is empty as it's now a mini-market! ><
Yeah another legendary studio that got bulldozed but the Franprix shop is nice! ><

yep dcba, I just stepped into that shop by way of google and got myself a nice juicy orange. Pity the asian take away 'Yummy Asia" was closed.

Seriously, I don't know if I want to spend too much of our precious Paris time in those surroundings, looks a bit too much like Zeist Vollenhove.

Place Pigalle was the name of a 4 disc set of Rolling Stones studio bootlegs.

Before that it was the title of a bootleg lp...
