The Moulin Rouge is a legendary Parisian cabaret located at the foot of Montmartre. Founded in 1889 by Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler, it quickly became a symbol of Paris's vibrant nightlife.
It was here that the French cancan, the famous, energetic dance that became one of the symbols of the Belle Époque, gained widespread popularity. Famous artists and performers are also associated with the Moulin Rouge, including Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who captured the atmosphere of the cabaret and its dancers.
Today, the Moulin Rouge remains one of Paris's main landmarks, and its red windmill is a world-renowned symbol of French cabaret and Parisian entertainment.
