One of the more recognisable icons of Paris is the 'Red Windmill', which sounds far more alluring when it is said in French as "The Moulin Rouge".
Indeed, the street it is situated on sounds far better when intoned as "Pee-gale" , rather than the English tendency (especially among older men) to pronounce it "Pig - alley"
The windmill itself is a leftover from the times when there were actually about 30 windmills in this area of Paris, although the one we see today has been altered and re-built several times since the Moulin Rouge began trading in 1889.
It is rather a shame that the other feature it was well known for in the early days disappeared in 1906 - it consisted of a giant artificial elephant left over from the world's fair when the Eiffel tower was bulit.
Gentleman only could ascend one of the legs of the thing internally, and then be treated to the girations of a belly dancer, actually in the belly of the elephant !
I'm not making this stuff up, honest. Wouldn't that be great if they could re-introduce it. It might even be worth going there, instead of just taking a picture and wondering why some people pay so much to go inside the joint.. (see Tourist trap tips) Leave a Comment Address: Pigalle

I was taking photos through the car window on our way to Sacre Cour and the view of this strange building caught my eye at once. Even if you're not a fan of nightlife or didn't like the movie with the same name - just have a look at "Red Mill".

Probably the best known cabaret theatre in the world. This world-famous cabaret was originally built in 1885 to serve as a windmill, but then it was transformed into a dance hall in 1900. Those wild, early days were immortalized by Toulouse-Lautrec in his posters and paintings, which are still greatly sought after today. If you fancy a Vegas-style night out, this is the place to be, but remember that it is quite expensive and definately not for the budget travelers

The Moulin Rouge is situated in the red light district Montmartre and it is famous for the large red imitation windmill on its roof.
Over the past hundred years or so the Moulin Rouge has been a popular tourist destination because it offers musical dance entertainment for adults. Leave a Comment

 Moulin Rouge in
Montmartre by Erin74
The Moulin Rouge is located in Montmarte, a unique and artistic section of Paris. In its heyday, it was known for the dancing girls who performed the Can Can on stage. There is still a show at the Moulin Rouge, although I didn't attend because it's a tad expensive (125-155 euros with dinner, 79-89 without dinner). There are two shows (7:30pm and 11:00pm).
I was content to simply walk by and admire the exterior of Moulin Rouge. It looks great for its age and makes a great photo op! Leave a Comment

Well, we didn't try a show in Moulin Rouge and I like to think that this is the highlight of this high class night club, renowned for the French can-can.
Otherwise a famous name and a specific facade…

Visiting Moulin Rouge is a must while traveling in Paris, France. If not for the Hollywood movie recognition (Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor), the history of an 1889 French cabaret and adult musical entertainment center (currently) should entice you to take a stroll by.
I was a tad surprised when I visited Moulin Rouge in 2005 because I expected the red windmill to be bigger and more prominent in the Paris skyline. Much to my surprise, the facade of the 1800's cabaret resembled a Disney land attraction.
