Understanding the Moulin Rouge greatly enriches your experience. Here’s what makes this extraordinary cabaret a legend:

The Birth of a Legend (1889)

The Moulin Rouge opened its doors on October 6, 1889, at the foot of Montmartre Hill, in the heart of the Belle Époque. Its founder, Joseph Oller, revolutionized Parisian entertainment by creating a venue where people from all social classes mingled.

The symbol: The red sails of the windmill, lit up at dusk, instantly become the emblem of Parisian nightlife.

The Golden Age of the Can-Can

The Moulin Rouge popularized the French Cancan, a spectacular dance featuring dizzying leg lifts and twirling petticoats. Legendary dancers such as La Goulue and Jane Avril brought fame to the cabaret.

Toulouse-Lautrec immortalized these wild nights in his now-iconic posters, capturing the energy and freedom that reigned at the Moulin Rouge.

The Moulin Rouge Today

More than 130 years after it first opened, the Moulin Rouge continues to enchant:

  • 600,000 visitors a year from around the world
  • Féerie Revue: a current show featuring 100 performers on stage
  • 1,000 costumes made of feathers, rhinestones, and sequins
  • 80 Doriss Girls carrying on the tradition of the French Cancan
  • Champagne served during the show for a complete experience
